How does AirBnB promote acting ethically amongst its rentals? There are many rentals that skirt their local laws and fail to procure the proper licensing for putting their property in AirBnB. Does AirBnB have any proactive measures in place to ensure all local rental licensing laws are complied with? Is it ethical to be willfully bind of this issue?

Airbnb encourages hosts to comply with their local laws and in a number of larger cities, promotes a regulatory scheme with the cities that requires licensing and even blocks listings that can't demonstrate compliance. There's no willful blindness here -- the challenge is that these are hard issues for localities to grapple with, it's a relatively new business platform and regulation has to catch up. I went through this when I was at eBay too, dealing with laws about what you could sell in a global internet auction marketplace -- there's a period of time where best practices about what regulations make the most sense get worked out, and a higher level of compliance gets achieved. Airbnb is working all over the world with cities to figure this out.

Additional Posts in Ethics In Business

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

Hi everyone, wanted to come back and talk about the work environment at the Washington Redskins/Football Club -- the Washington Post story was pretty jaw dropping.

I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?
