The hotels in any city would lobby to kill any sort of government intrusion into the private sector like that.

On top of that cities prefer nice compartmentalized systems, short term rentals are hotels, long term rentals are apartments. City planners designate different areas for different use cases, airbnb style rentals go against this and raise all sorts of problems. This is one of the major reasons why cities generally dislike airbnb.
