Hi Nicole,
My name is Brianna and I work here at Airbnb. Thank you for you message about the report regarding the possible short term rental ban in your area though, I apologize for the delay in response.
I'm part of the Customer Experience team which helps guests and hosts with the website and any issues during a reservation, so I am unable to comment directly on this subject. Hopefully the information will be of assistance to you.
We’re a global company and we make efforts to support home sharing in many places, but regrettably we're unable to get involved in every market.
Because jurisdictional agreements are handled by a specialized team that is not part of our customer experience team, we do not make contact with local government authorities directly. Similarly, they do not make direct contact with guests or hosts. This specialized team negotiates on behalf of all hosts in the area, does not do so on a case-by-case basis and does not reveal private/personal information.
That said, I'm happy to share a few resources that may be of help to you.
