San Francisco

HOMEAWAY Inc, the Texas-based online vacation rental company, has sued San Francisco to overturn a new law legalising short-term rentals that it says favours hometown rival Airbnb and discriminates against other tourist rental businesses.

An ordinance approved by city supervisors that Airbnb was involved in drafting grants the San Francisco-based company a local monopoly over the short-term rental business by adopting its business model, HomeAway alleged in a complaint filed in federal court.
