Unanimous vote by councillors to take a deeper look at Airbnbs, to see if more regulation is needed.
Green councillor Ellen McLeay asked that officials prepare a report aimed at giving the council more power to deal with the issue.
Ms McLeay said families were being "priced out" of the city centre and short-term lets were creating "ghost neighbourhoods".
Ms McLeay cited a University College London study which found that areas of the capital with the most Airbnb listings tended to have higher weekly rents and a lack of affordable housing, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Holiday rental sites Airbnb and Vrbo currently list 4,500 Brighton and Hove properties, she said.
