The typical AirBnB location is not a commercially-zoned, licensed hotel. Municipalities can update their laws to be more relevant if they feel they are losing tax revenue.
Municipality tax relevance is a far cry from international laws that are already in place.
"Municipalities can update their laws to be more relevant"
Or... people could comply with the current municipal laws and not run commercial enterprises in non-commercially-zoned areas, or even just respect whatever HOA or landlord agreements they are party to.
Again, enforcement is up to the municipality, and Air bnb is cooperative: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/481
HOA and landlord contractual agreements are not the same as municipal laws and are frivolous to the conversation about international import laws. Mentioning them makes it seem like you're scraping for excuses to attack air bnb.
