Landlords in SF are Evicting Tennants Who Are Running Illegal AirBNBS

This is just messed up and I think the Landlords are just jealous that they cant get in on this amazing phenomenon that has hit SF. An AirBNB is short term rental of a couch or guest room to an out of town visitor. AirBNBers list rooms or couches on websites like CraigsList and such to get guests. However, it is illegal and against all standard leases for a tenant to rent a portion of his/her rental to transients. So now the backlash is that the landlords are now evicting tenants who do this. And ONLY giving them 72 hrs to pack up and get out. That is just so cold!!! Times are tough and if you can make an extra $200.00 or so on letting someone sleep on your couch or stay in your guest room. I say more power to you. Good looking out on your part. There is now a push for the City Council to change the law, but I doubt that they will. It is bad for the Hotel Industry. Who I think might be behind the push for the landlords to start evicting tenants. Because the AirBNBers are in direct competition with the hotels. Hello! Goodbye! hahahaha
