A Miami judge on Wednesday denied a motion from Airbnb Inc. and Airbnb Payments Inc. to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Apartment Investment & Management Co., or Aimco, over unauthorized subleases, despite a California judge dismissing a suit with the same claims.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge William L. Thomas allowed the plaintiffs to proceed with their suit, which alleges Airbnb has continued to allow South Florida tenants to illicitly offer apartments for short-term rent, despite repeated requests to ban the practice.
