Whether you live in an apartment building or a home in a residential neighborhood, thereâs a good chance youâve had an issue with one of your neighbors before. In fact, a survey from LendingTree found that 73% of Americans dislike at least one of their neighbors.Â
As far as why Americans decide that they arenât fans of their neighbors, the top reasons cited were: giving off a âweird vibe,â making too much noise, being rude, having disruptive pets, being nosy or a busybody, failing to maintain the exterior of their home, having loud or unruly children, stealing parking spots, smoking, having differing political views, and using their home as a short-term rental property.
The neighbors in this story seem to check off at least two of those boxes! Apparently, noise complaints often come along with Airbnbs, IGMS notes on their site. This often leads to complaints from neighbors, but the issue can quickly escalate.
For example, neighbors might check to see if the Airbnb breaks any municipal or community laws or regulations. In which case, the hosts might be fined or have to shut down the rental property. At the same time, disgruntled neighbors can report the property to Airbnb, which can lead to an investigation.
