Airbnbs are not flying with a Salmon Arm resident who wrote recently to city council.

91裸聊视频淢y concern is that Airbnb rentals do nothing to alleviate any of our rental or housing shortages and they are not a positive addition to any residential neighbourhood,91裸聊视频� Ann Smith wrote in an Oct. 19 email.

She said she and her spouse live in a residential neighbourhood and should have the right to peace and quiet. However, she has had Airbnb rentals on three sides of her home at the same time, causing duress and anxiety.

91裸聊视频淚 have been sworn at, yelled at, had garbage dumped on our lawn, had sewage effluent dumped from an Airbnb 91裸聊视频榞uest91裸聊视频� vehicle onto the lawn of our property, have had to endure smoke of all kinds at all hours of the night, yelling, screaming from the hot tub through the night and inappropriate vehicle parking, speeding and traffic issues.91裸聊视频�

Smith said she has also observed that several R-8 or residential suite zone properties are not renting out their suites for affordable long-term rentals but instead nightly rentals. She said the zoning doesn91裸聊视频檛 allow Airbnb rentals and the city should follow up with the owners.

91裸聊视频淚 would suggest that the City needs to revamp their Airbnb 91裸聊视频榣ook the other way approach91裸聊视频� and create levels of application and approvals, also generating an income stream to help bolster our Bylaw and Enforcement work91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

Coun. Tim Lavery noted that the community housing report is coming to council (Nov. 9 meeting) and there will be all kinds of policy implications for council to consider. He said short-term rentals, how to proceed with them, the cost of monitoring them and other factors will be part of the ongoing discussion.

Coun. Kevin Flynn said he has heard anecdotally that the monthly rent for downtown buildings in Toronto has plummeted over the last four months because of COVID-19 and people are now looking to do long-term rentals.

He acknowledged the local issues.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e heard the concerns and the director of development services has told us it91裸聊视频檚 very difficult to police. But I do think it91裸聊视频檚 important we do look at this in our long-term policy because lots of people in the actual business of hotels and things have been questioning how many Airbnb we have as well.91裸聊视频�
