Airbnb

The apartment rental giant is shifting its fee structure, placing the financial burden directly on hosts. As experts warn against entering the market, property owners are already passing these costs on to guests.

The inspector for multi-family housing in Haifa approved short-term apartment rentals on Airbnb and Booking, despite neighbors' objections. The decision joins a series of conflicting rulings on the subject, and the opponents have already appealed to the District Court.

The market expected it to fail again, but the rental giant presented an incredible quarter with a jump in profits, growth in India, and savings through artificial intelligence. Airbnb stuns Wall Street analysts.
