The Bold Italic reports that the Bernal Heights tenant, whose 415% rent increase notice has been doing laps around the internet, has been using her home to host Airbnb guests.
In a series of steps toward legitimizing the practice, Airbnb recently “volunteered” a 25 million dollar tax payment to San Francisco, and the City recently enacted new “hosting platform” legislation, where tenants who comply with its procedures would not be subject to the “just cause for eviction” provisions of the Rent Ordinance for a first violation of the residential unit conversion ordinance.
