Airbnb is suing New Orleans over its regulations on short-term rentals.
City officials have been trying for years to come up with effective ways of dealing with the spread of illegal STRs.
Last year, the City Council passed regulations requiring Airbnb and other STR companies to verify that all their New Orleans properties have permits from the city.
The regulations are set to take effect in June.
Airbnb says it's not their job to implement city policies. The company is also suing New York and San Francisco over attempted regulations.
