I can't get a license for short term rentals in Kansas City (the city refuses to issue any licenses), so I'm losing $ every m...

Hello everyone. I have been booked almost every week since February and suddenly the booking requests have stopped for December and the rest of 2023. Is anybody experiencing this? My listing is in Topanga near Malibu California.
OMG Honey , it's just not only you and your area . As baffling as it is and as targeted as it seems its apparently epidemic and widespread nationally .
I opened in August. Stayed steadily Booked with no time for even a breath between guests . On the first of January , it was announced I had achieved super host status. As if prearranged, it's fallen silent . Not but one 0r two inquiries I'm near positive Were bogus or nair de wells flying under the radar. Naturally , those were a firm 'No .' From Christmas Day onward , crickets chirping , dust blowing and spaghetti western theme songs playing in the back ground . This entire area of the Permian Basin has all but fallen silent . It doesnt seem to pick and Choose . Nobody in our general area is renting. Even the stray overnighter has become a rare occurrenc. I've spoken to other hosts in this area . Nobody's doing much better. The guest has become a rare bird . My guests were predominantly associated with the local refinery's, pipelines and wind farms that flourish here . As far as I can tell all these are still thriving. They just arent booking their people with Air B n B . Its widespread. Following suggestions and tweaking My stays daily has had no effect. I feel it's something we will Have to wait out. It's quite devastating in so many levels. it will turn around but at its own choosing . we have to wait it out I suppose or get that part time position weve all been avoiding and dodging. As if this time of year isnt trying and stressful enough on the majority of the population. This to shall pass . Hang in there is the best I have to offer.
Hi Veronica,
I've had the same issue. I had an AirBnB running for 2.5 years that was almost always totally booked. I keep my prices low, am close to downtown Boise, and am a mile from the airport. I am in an IDEAL location and am a superhost. My bookings went off a cliff in December and I had no requests up to now. I have decided to remove my listing as I am tired of being on notice and am planning to relist in April as I'm hoping the market will even out by then.
Good luck!
Hi @Amanda1947 ,
Really sorry to hear about this. Did you also manage to connect with Hosts near you to know if they are facing the same issues?

Hi @Bhumika,
I have not. I'm not sure how that would help me?
I had constant bookings back to back and well over a hundred reviews. I'm not sure what could be done at this point to improve the listing. This seems to be more of an issue with the algorithm and the market.
Thanks,
Amanda
yes indeed, most place and "Snowflake" was full except for three days last March and March 2023 only had three bookings for the first time I just lowered the price about 10%
Yes indeed I have not even received any enquiries let alone a booking for the mid section of my calendar for December, and nothing for most of January s d so forth. I noticed also that Airbnb advertising seems to have stopped on the tv recently? Usually you can’t get enough of it??
