Airbnb hopes to one day list HDB flats on site

While it earns extra income for the homeowners, their neighbours would not like to see their quiet neighbourhood becoming a hotel district. I, myself, think its not a good idea, Mr Khaw wrote.
Airbnb has had its share of criticism across the globe, particularly with regard to safety issues.
Blecharczyk explained that his firm democratises travel accommodation for both the hosts and traveller, adding that homeowners stand to benefit from added income.
This is an opportunity for regular people to earn a supplementary income and I think that is an opportunity that is just as important for those who own private homes in Singapore as it is to those who live in public housing. Those are the middle-class or below-middle-class people who can really benefit from a few extra dollars, he said.

If nothing "accidental" occurs during the stay, I suppose nobody will complain. But...... something stolen or missing (either the guest or houseowner), accident or injury occurs, what happens then? Does the homeowner's home insurance cover guests? Any difference between visiting relatives and "paying" guests? Homeowner's dog bites the guest? And what if the home has bedbugs, or lice? Does the guest get a refund?

Cheers!

Singaporeans have prepaid their rents for 99 years in advance. They should have the options to rent out to AirBNB.

Hotels in Singapore are too expensive.

Cheap ones are for ah nehs banging prostitutes.
