If you had a large-scale set of data of AirBnB listings that was reasonably accurate, that could be valuable to many people, for all sorts of reasons.
I'm slightly skeptical of some of your specific suggested markets, though. I would guess landlords are not likely to be a big market. The apartment and condo buildings that want to shut down AirBnB in their building already have a fairly easy time looking through nearby listings and identifying the ones in their building. The ones who aren't paying enough attention to do that will probably not be paying enough attention to find out that they can buy a list from you, either, unless you do a lot of marketing. And governments so far are going more the route of just trying to force AirBnB to hand over listings directly, instead of buying from a third party.
