This particular issue would probably be best addressed by requiring Airbnb to require proof that people listing on their platform are legally allowed to do so. Making them liable for enforcement would probably be quite impactful.

Alternatively you could fight to get Airbnb banned, but that's probably a bigger lift.

It's hard to prove something's not illegal for a person

What Airbnb should be able to do as a multibillion dollar company is be able to research laws, or receive reports or them, and block out relevant addresses.
