New Orleans short-term rentals could face major changes (Airbnb) (Slidell: real estate, apartments)

[RayNagin504]

Looks like there is finally some hope for New Orleans residents who neighborhoods that have been taken over by Airbnb investors.

Sounds like the lobbyists for the hotel industry are strong in New Orleans. I fail to see how short term rentals have a negative impact on anyone else. When investors take their money and put it elsewhere and New Orleans is left with a huge inventory of empty houses to be vandalized the city will be singing a different tune, not to mention loss of tax revenue. The hotels still have plenty of market share. They are just greedy and want it all.

Do you understand how investors drive up the cost of living and send locals to live in Slidell while places like LGD become a neighborhood of hotels? The Quarter is chock full of them and it should be more residents and not tourists. Also, some of these are in really dangerous areas and tourists have no idea. There needs to be regulation, New Orleans isn't just any city.

For once I finally agree with Annie. Let's make New Orleans Chocolate City Again!

When it comes to the price of real estate, the market is the market.do you think investors want to het as good a deal as anybody. Explain to me how tourists are somehow less desirable than redidents when it comes to occupying a property. What possible difference could it make? Besides tourists occupying homes is going to pump more money into the local economy because they are going to eat out more, shop more, spend money on local attractions, etc.

Have you lived in a neighborhood where many of the homes have been turned into Air BnB's? For you to say "what possible difference could it make?" tells me that answer.

Well the most obvious is that tourists have nothing vested in the neighborhood since they don't own the house and are only there temporarily. As a short term home renter, you're less likely to take care of the property, care about the neighbors (since you don't know them), or care about the image/reputation of the area you're renting a house in.

Neighbors turned out for a June 27 adjudication hearing to complain about loud parties they said have been held at 3819 Marais St. for months.

Neighbors described several raucous wedding receptions at the home, including late-night DJs.

Sarah Cherny, an NOPD officer who lives with her mother near the house, told adjudication officials she has pulled up to find people vomiting on the home's front lawn.


Neighbors living near 726 St. Roch St. in the Marigny neighborhood showed up at last week's hearing to complain about a rental that had been cited for operating without a license.

Thomas Dantin, who lives on nearby Dauphine Street, said the backyard gets very noisy when groups of 10 to 12 rent the home. It features a pool with a raised deck, putting guests well above the fence line during parties and making noise travel even further, he said.

Another neighbor, Carl Terranova, said he was yelled at after asking a group of renters to tone down their party at 6 p.m. one weekend.

Seriously? 6PM??? give me a break. I'm sure the only reason they complained because they were "renters" and not residents. You can bet that if they were the regular neighbors and they had a party at 6PM, nobody would ask them to "tone it down".

People have parties all the time ESPECIALLY IN NEW ORLEANS, what do these people do during Mardi Gras? Ask the 5,000 people on the street to "tone it down" at 6pm?

What about living in a neighborhood taken over by Air Bnbs?

Our son lived in an apartment in the FQ that had many other apartments that were rented out for short term rental. It was rough. The weekenders destroyed the common property, they would be drunk, which I know is not a new thing in NOLA but they would leave their trash and their vomit for all of the regular renters to live with, and they would steal anything from mail to door decor. they would attempt to get in your apartment because they thought it was their weekend rental and then want to fight because you were in their space. He could not get out of that building fast enough. Now lives in a nice complex in the CDB with a clause that does not allow for sub-lets or short term rentals.
