San Francisco's board of supervisors has strengthened the rules of home-stays in the city causing companies such as Airbnb to face more scrutiny. The new rules, which will take effect on July 1, require hosts who want a home stay to get permits from the city. A 90 day rental period has remained intact despite efforts to move rental periods down to 75 days. The office will monitor rules such as hosts signing onto a city registry, the need to carry liability insurance and collect transient occupancy taxes.
