Airbnb is suing the City of New Orleans for requiring the company and other short-term rental platforms ensure properties they market are in compliance with city regulations

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Airbnb is suing the City of New Orleans for requiring the company and short-term rental platforms ensure properties they market are in compliance with city laws.

“What we’re looking at now due to Airbnb’s lawsuit is that they do not want to be regulated," City Council President J.P. Morrell said in a late afternoon Tuesday statement.

Airbnb said its lawsuit comes “after exhausting all available paths toward sensible solutions.”

For years, New Orleans leaders have struggled with how to manage the influx of illegal short-term rentals catering to the millions of visitors who flock to The Big Easy annually while managing a lack of affordable housing.
