The aim of the article is to examine the motivations for the regulation of temporary rentals through accommodation platforms. The central argument indicates that, while in some cities the regulation of platforms such as Airbnb occurs mainly because of the concern with the increase of tax revenues by the government, the predominant focus of others is to maintain the order and security in the territories within the city.
