Airbnb Commercial Zoning

[Alexander Ramos]

Hey I had a question guys, see if anyone can help . I am set to sign a lease on an apartment/office area. That I will use for airbnb. I believe its zoned as commercial. Will double check! I have contacted village and have received two different answers. Yes and no.

Question is, has anyone registered on Airbnb,  with commercial and or mix use zoning?

Hi!

Air BnB does nothing to make sure you will be in the clear with local zoning and regulations. They put that risk on the listing owner and the preponderance is on you to do your homework.  I cannot stress enough how important it is to check if the local laws and regs allow it. If you are doing the lease solely as an investment for Air BnB income make sure the leasing company knows your plans. It would stink to get tied up in a lease only to discover you cannot air BnB the space.  

Not to mention the hit to your Air BnB host rating.
