Air B&B Litigation?

Is he not violating any of the existing Deed restrictions? I would start hammering him on those. Lots of people violate their building setback lines and don't even realize it. Look on your appraisal districts website if he is claiming a homestead exemption, as that would be tax fraud.

This is the best idea so far. I am sure some of the TBH crew could be counted on for leaving bad reviews/comments etc

If you leave bad reviews without actually staying at the house you can be liable for slander.

That is a tough situation. I have a vrbo but am very mindful of neighbors. I limit number of guest and no music after 8pm. Good luck

It would be a shame if his listing was to get swarmed. Can you imagine the work if suddenly he had to deal with hundreds of people a day asking all kinds of questions then not renting, that would probably wear a fellow out to the point of not even having the energy to rent the place

Or burn it down.
Just kidding.
Make the tennants miserable.

If only there was a group online that was prone to helping people gain knowledge about cats and such.

Sounds like they make a killing renting it out. Wouldn’t sell, buy another home and you also can make money renting it out.

I agree with the above. From a legal standpoint, I'm not sure. However, as an example, my parents live in a large bay-house community; which put restrictions on short-term rentals several years ago (probably 20 + years ago). However, there still are a few homes that are "grandfathered in" and allowed short-term rentals. That was due to them being owned prior to the restrictions. What I'm not sure about is why that was done. Was it to appease some owners to get the restrictions passed or did they not have the legal rights to do so?

Regardless, it sounds like your situation stinks. I would hate to live next to a short-term rental and have new people coming and going all the time. Not to mention any that are on vacation..

Wouldn't happen to be Tiki Island?

Make sure the tax man knows the house is and has been a commercial property. The owner will be taxed as a business as the rental and commercial property tax as well. If it is commercial you can check the deed also. Most subdivisions no matter the age have business restriction for just this purpose buried in the doc's somewhere.

Here is my take. Sorry that you have a bad neighbor but he owns the place and he should be able to rent it out if he wants too. That is how ownership should work. The only solution should be to buy him out or move yourself. His rights don't stop just because his neighbors do not like him.
