Summary: While ride sharing and car sharing have gotten lots of media attention, home sharing is another sharing system. People rent rooms or homes for short periods of time or exchange their homes for someone else′s for a given time. Similar to ride and car sharing, there are issues in both, from the individual homeowners policy to the regulations that are followed by bed and breakfasts and inns and hotels but are not being applied to the home sharing companies. There are other home sharing arrangements as well where homes are truly shared in exchange for services or fees.
