Statement By Mass. Lodging Association On Passage Of Boston Airbnb Ordinance

(BOSTON) - The Massachusetts Lodging Association released the following statement today from President and CEO Paul Sacco regarding the Boston City Council’s passage of an ordinance regulating Airbnb: Today, Mayor Walsh and the Boston City Council demonstrated true leadership by acting to protect Boston from exploitation at the hands of wealthy, out-of-town interests who have been buying up thousands of housing units in order to turn them into illegal hotels. Today’s action preserves the rights of real home-sharers while reining in the bad actors who are contributing to Boston’s skyrocketing housing costs and wreaking havoc on many of our neighborhoods. Now, the state legislature must act to ensure that Airbnb pays its fair share of taxes and abides by a common set of health, safety and non-discrimination rules across the Commonwealth.
