Several cities in the US will pay residents not to rent out their homes on Airbnb

Amid record rent increases and a generally out-of-control real estate market, some townships are using a new strategy to increase housing options: providing cash bait to landlords to move away from short-term rental platforms and instead sign leases with local residents. Writes about it New York Post.

The City of Sedona, Arizona is joining a small group of other US communities trying to stop the rent crisis by offering homeowners cash.

“Every day I get calls from people who are losing their place because their landlord is converting their place into a short-term rental,” Sedona City Housing Manager Shannon Boone said of the city council-approved Local Rent program.

This program will pay $3000 to those who rent small apartments and $10 to those who rent larger properties to remove their listings from short-term rental sites, including Airbnb and Vrbo, and instead rent them to local residents in for at least a year at a time.

This is just a nice bonus for property owners, not a ban on short-term rentals, Boon said. Currently, nearly 1000 of Sedona's 6600 housing units are short-term rentals.

“Our goal is not to do away with short-term rentals, but to have a place to house our local workforce,” she said.

Time will tell if Sedona's program is worth its budget, but similar incentives elsewhere have actually worked. Summit County, Colorado, successfully placed 140 local workers by finding owners of short-term rental homes and offering them up to $20 to sign long-term leases.

“There has been a lot of positive feedback from the hosts,” said Summit County Housing Director Jason Dietz. “It’s actually just one tool.” There are no quick fixes for affordable housing.”
