Woman booted from subsidized Aspen apartment after listing her place on Airbnb
Aspen TimesA screenshot of a reservation made on Airbnb of a deed-restricted unit in Aspen’s affordable housing program.An Aspen woman has been kicked out of her taxpayer-subsidized affordable housing for renting her apartment on Airbnb.
Katherine Peach’s lease for her one-bedroom unit was terminated last month and she moved out.

It is against APCHA’s rules to rent out any unit in its inventory, since occupants must live and work in Pitkin County for nine months of the year.
“To us, this is a really major thing,” said Cindy Christensen, deputy director of APCHA.
