Fourteen months after the City Council signed off on fining booking providers like Airbnb and Vrbo up to $1,000 a day for allowing customers to book an unlicensed rental, the city has yet to do so. “This (policy) has led to the main players stepping up and doing a little more policing themselves,” said Eric Escudero, spokesman for Denver’s Department of Excise and Licenses, which licenses short-term rentals. Additionally, two-and-a-half years after the Denver District Attorney’s Office charged four landlords with a felony connected to allegedly attempting to rent something that wasn’t their primary residence — charges that were all later dropped — the city has not referred a single additional case for possible prosecution.
