That shouldn't be allowed to happen.

On the other hand, I've stayed in rental apartments in various places and it hasn't bothered anyone, and I'm pretty sure the tourism brought in was very welcome.   They weren't Airbnb though and were all handled by firms that were effectively property managing on behalf of the owners.   Mind you, in every case, they were in low rises or small homes with entrances/exits to the street, not high-rise apartments.   The damage one could do was limited.

The real issue is the "free-for-all" that Airbnb encourages versus responsible business arrangements.   Some people see Airbnb and other "sharing economy" businesses as a mix of a "love child" meets "quasi-barter economy" way of working that somehow is "better" than established approaches -- until the freeloaders burn the place down.
