I'm not so sure that people don't need the security they have with a lease. Short term agreements imply that the landlord can decide to move you out (or simply say they are no longer renting) at a moments notice.

He didn’t mention how this could impact tenants, like those who prefer long-term rentals because it locks in their rent at a set price and offers legal protections. The idea is that more people are going to want flexibility and the ability to parachute into a destination and live like a local. Chesky says that Airbnb has dealt with evictions and squatters in the past and hasn’t found any “intractable issue” that can’t be handled.

That is very interesting. I will more closely follow Airbnb in the future I think.

It could be useful to rent rooms of your own.

I'm not sure the rest is outdated. People won't work from home eternally. Sooner or later, they will come back to work at the office.

Have you tried Airbnb yourself? If so, what do you think about it?
