Though I have never been affected myself, I have seen what some of these short term rentals have done to friends of mine. They have a number of people next door to them as well as an entire block of apartments (all owned by the one person) with a continuous turn over of residents behind them.
Complaints about their behaviour have lead to a barrage of beer bottles and obscene language over the fence. Confronting their immediate neighbour lead to their car being parked in. What do they do? They can (and have) make complaints, but by the time anything is done, these short term residents will probably be heading off in their VW combi which they will leave at the airport whilst going to destinations unknown (with no forwarding address). Then the next lot will move in.
My friends feel trapped. Their lives a misery. They are afraid of further more serious retribution. They would like to sell up and move but can't afford it. Besides, who would want to live in these conditions?
