AirBnBs are "hot" properties, meaning that neighbors often dont like living next door to a hotel and will call the police as soon as they see something they dont like.
This happened to a client a few years ago. He rented an AirBnB in LA and within an hour or so of his shoot staring the LAPD showed up, shut him down and gave him a ticket for shooting without a permit - a misdemeanor in LA and in other cities.
All in all, to resolve the criminal case it cost him $5000 in fines, court cost and attorneys fees. He had to plead guilty and if he was caught again shooting without a permit for 3 yrs, the court would impose jail time which they had suspended in lieu of the payment of fines.
Rent AirBnBs at your own risk...
