520			_aAirbnb is an online short-term letting platform created in August 2008 in Southern California. It arrived in Sydney not long after, with the first listings for Sydney appearing by February of 2009. Airbnb was originally marketed as part of the sharing economy, where a spare room might be listed. But in 2017 listings are increasingly made for entire homes. Compare below an early ‘About page’ in February 2009 to the About page currently on the site in March 2017’. As a result, Airbnb has caused concern amongst tenant representative groups around the world. The perception from these groups is that Airbnb & other similar companies are encouraging landlords to remove dwellings from the rental sector due to higher returns in short term letting. Some owners and neighbours also report being disturbed by short term letting guests. This is a problem that has been around for a very long time, but the rise of Airbnb has potentially exacerbated this issue.
