I would start with the regulations required of hotels and serviced apartments that exist now. These are fairly diverse and fairly specific. Safety today is good and there is a reason for that. New players. i.e. AirBNB owners, should be held to no less of a standard. Simply owning a residential property does not qualify one to become a hotel level lessor.
Out of curiosity though, you do not advocate government interference with regulations regarding leasing conditions and responsibilities yet appear in the last statement to advocate government interference in the allowance of the very existence of structures. Clarification on where the lines for safety should be drawn?
