Yes. There is enough evidence of this that NYC created an entirely new beauracracy just to handle these issues. Numerous papers have published articles describing fraudulent or deceptive AirBnB listings, the guests' lack of resource, AirBnB's lack of assistance.
I'm asking about evidence for the higher rates of crime and abuse to non-tenants that tptacek claimed, not about deceptive listings on AirBnB or damage to tenants.
