The city of Paris is suing Airbnb for $14m over claims 65,000 rental adverts posted on the site were in violation of French law. Legislation introduced last year made it illegal to rent out a property in France on short-term platforms for more than 120 days each year, with companies facing fines of €12,500 ($14,100) for each post in breach of the rules. Paris is Airbnb's single largest market, with around more than 1,000 homes listed on the platform.
