Another "We're Just a Platform" Excuse
By Trudy Grundland
Here’s my take on the story about the class action filed against Airbnb in Nevada, June 2024, in Giller v. Airbnb, Inc. using the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act. There must be someone in California who wants to do the same.
Nevada state and local laws require Airbnb to investigate its new host applicants to confirm the person is authorized to rent the property on a short-term basis. Airbnb is aware that a person may be in violation of a lease homeowner or condo association rules, and city zoning laws that restrict short-term rentals. These conditions would make the property ineligible for a city business license number, a Las Vegas Municipal Code mandate for every short-term rental listing in the city, but there are “hosts” willing to skirt the law and use fake license numbers.
