Many Airbnb owners say imposing stricter booking limits will not persuade them to convert their properties into long-term rentals, according to a survey of 1,000 hosts in Sydney and Melbourne.
Airbnb contracted YouGov to carry out the survey, which also found most owners were likely to just leave a property vacant—a finding that goes against official reasons to limit Airbnb activity.
