Home-sharing company Airbnb plans to play nicer with Paris regulators.
The San Francisco company, which lets people rent spare rooms or entire homes for short periods, will start warning hosts in Paris when they may be violating city regulations, Airbnb announced in a blog post on Thursday. It has agreed to start a four-month test to notify hosts who may be exceeding the 120 day annual limit for short term rentals or renting an apartment that is not their main residence. Both are violation of city rules and carry fines as high as $28,500, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Airbnb won’t disclose any host names to Paris officials. But the city does hope the more aggressive policy is a first step in creating a system to clamp down on illegal rentals.
