Dear Moneyist, Would a little pain get my ex-husband to stop renting out rooms of our house on Airbnb?
I have been legally divorced for more than a year, but have yet to finalize the property settlement on our primary residence. My ex-husband continues to reside on our property and earns money through Airbnb by renting out rooms.
Can I request that he refrains from doing this until our property is settled? Once he buys me out, the property will be solely in his name and he can use it however he sees fit. Until then, perhaps a little pain would help increase his desire to resolve this with more haste.A little pain would help. A little pain might also turn into a lot of pain for you and your ex-husband, if he decides to dig in his heels.
Several cities in California are cracking down on Airbnb. In Los Angeles, for instance, a host may not rent out a room in their home for more than 120 days in any calendar year, and must register with the city’s planning department and pay a fee. In San Francisco, hosts may not rent an entire home for more than 90 days in any calendar year, but can rent out a room for any length of time.
