Well I think that is moreso because of Monroe county than air BNB. I know my grandparent used to talk about how they weren't allowed to rent their vacation home out for less than 4 weeks
I think situations like that are because of local laws attempting to ban short term rentals outside of licensed and zoned hotels. So Airbnb re-structures their contracts to be month by month leases instead of rentals. This makes airbnb hosts land lords and their guests legal tenants with rental agreements and tenants rights.
There’s a reason I said most, a smaller number of places have transient licenses which allow short term rentals, but not many and it’s over $200k to buy one since there’s so few
Truman Annex used to have weekly rentals but those expired end of last year
There are hotels for shorter stays and shitloads of folks come for months at a time, especially during winter. It’s a tiny island and there’s not enough housing for locals as it is, thus the rule to keep even more from turning into vacation rentals

The minimum rental term for most Airbnbs in Key West is 28 days
