Howard v. Manning (1920 OK 292) Oklahoma Supreme Court One tenant-in-common who leases entire property without co-owner consent acts as a trespasser against the other owners.
Supports: Establishes Oklahoma precedent: co-owners cannot unilaterally lease out shared property.
Swartzbaugh v. Sampson (11 Cal. App. 2d 451 (1936)) California Court of Appeal A joint tenant may lease only their own interest—cannot exclude or bind another co-owner.
Supports: Classic rule showing consent of all owners is fundamental to property rights.
Giller v. Airbnb, Inc. (D. Nev. No. 2:24-cv-01266, 2024) U.S. District Court (Nevada) Class action alleging Airbnb profits from unauthorized listings posted by individuals without owner permission.
Supports: Demonstrates platform liability for unauthorized STRs; supports London's Law platform-verification requirement.
Howard et al. v. Airbnb, Inc. et al. (W.D. Tex. No. 5:24-cv-01457, 2024) U.S. District Court (Texas) STR dispute moved to arbitration; highlights Texas platform-host conflicts.

Graham v. Reynolds (Okla. Ct. Civ. App. No. 122041, 2024) Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals Upheld short-term rentals as “residential use” where covenants were silent.

Supports: Shows strong property-rights posture; London’s Law complements—not restricts—those rights by ensuring consent among owners.
