An Airbnb official is publicly supporting a proposed Arizona senate bill that would give cities new tools to address nuisance concerns.
The Arizona Senate Commerce Committee is expected to discuss Senate Bill 1379, introduced by Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, at 2 p.m. Feb. 3.
John Choi, Airbnb public policy manager, says the company supports this new bill.
“Airbnb supports Sen. Mesnard’s bill and commends him for his efforts to give cities new tools to address hosts who negatively impact quality of life in their communities,” Mr. Choi said. “The vast majority of hosts in Arizona contribute positively to their neighborhoods and we look forward to supporting state and local officials in their efforts to develop sensible rules that preserve homeowners’ property rights and the economic benefits home sharing provides for Arizonians.
