Crackdown on Airbnb: Landlords vs. City Governments

Season 3 Episode 3

Airbnb, Roomorama, Booking.com and VRBO are all companies that help homeowners rent out their place to travelers, for days and weeks at a time. While landlords say it provides them with a great source of income, some local governments believe greedy property owners are skirting rent control and violating zoning laws. We hear from all sides of this controversy.
