LOS ANGELES -What's going on in LOS ANGELES re Airbnb

Hosts in the LA metro region: Iā€™m a sociologist doing research on Airbnb, interviewing hosts for 45min-1hr about their experience with the platform. I can offer $20 compensation for your time, and we can organize by phone or in person. Here is a link to my post in the Research category for more detail; please email me directly at kdunn6@luc.edu if interested

I live in Santa Monica and have hosted for four years. Yesterday, Dec 11, the city came to the agreement, we can only host UNDER 30 days and must live on premises. The reason for not over 30 is because an individual can claim to be a tenant after 30 days and use that to basically take over your house. It is definitely in the hosts advantage not to do more than 30.
