Welcome!

Keep Neighborhoods First is a grassroots coalition of neighbors, tenants, and affordable housing advocates, working men and women, and business and hotel owners who have come together to solve the problems created by the proliferation of commercial short-term rentals in our neighborhoods. If you have an illegal short-term rental to report, you can do it here.

We are concerned about:

• The rapid loss of affordable housing
• Safety and stability of our neighborhoods
• The diminishing quality of life for Angelenos
• Homes and apartments turning into hotels
• Entire neighborhoods becoming tourist zones

KNF has successfully brought together thousands of stakeholders all over Los Angeles and throughout California to create a united voice to protect our communities from the impacts of short-term rentals. Together we have already helped shape the legislative process at City Hall, forcing a real conversation.  We have mobilized speakers, held rallies, marches against bad operators, and demanded action. KNF is proud of the role we are playing in developing the regulations at City Hall to ensure real protection in our neighborhoods.

However, we know that Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms are prepared to spend millions of dollars to protect their profits in Los Angeles. By growing Keep Neighborhoods First, and continuing to advocate for our communities, we can help influence effective and enforceable regulations that protect our neighborhoods from the negative impacts of illegal short-term rentals.

While we support legitimate home-sharing, we aim to bring relief to community members who are concerned, ignored, evicted, and deceived by commercialized short-term rental abuse, and who are ready to stop being exploited. We offer useful information, develop short-term rental awareness campaigns, and highlight opportunities to take action.
