There are laws, and then there is the matter of getting the laws enforced in a timely fashion -- if at all.

And of not suffering undue material harm during the process. Such as an extended lack of sleep adversely affecting one's employment.

There is also the possibility of escalating retaliation after you file a complaint.

There is the time and cost and confrontation of taking the other party to court, when that's what the law dictates and/or what police insist upon.

I'm significantly inclined to view AirBnB as a parasite upon the well being of long term, "real" tenants.

Both I and my extended group of friends and acquaintances have, en masse, had enough difficulty with neighbors -- before even adding AirBnB to the mix -- for me personally to give this viewpoint considerable weight.
