The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) is reporting that hundreds of Cleveland-area homeowners & renters will vacate their homes next week, to make room for short-term tenants traveling there for the GOP convention, which begins on July 18th. The article points out that a unique rental market materialized to satisfy convention-driven demand. The event is expected to draw more than 50k people into downtown Cleveland for the 4-day event.
“Airbnb expects 1,300 to 1,400 guests to stay at its listings in the Cleveland area during the convention. That marks a fourfold spike in bookings, when compared with weeks on either end of the event.”
