My first instinct is “yes” but then I thought about it and I think it’s just going to exacerbate the short-stay problem unless combined with other measures.

    Easy fix then, set the criteria for not getting taxed to a formal leasing agreement.

      There would have to be a minimum term for it to qualify. Otherwise, that could be worked around with a “lease” with a term of one day.

        True, but the simple fact of making it a lease with all the legal protection and obligations inherent under tenancy laws would absolutely blow a hole in AirBnB’s arse.
