” : Why didn’t the city receive its quota for whole-house vacation rental applications? My thought is short-term rental hosts want to avoid fees and regulations.
They would rather go undercover as short-term rental hosts. Now, the city is begging for applications so it will have funding for enforcement. It would be better to help the housing shortage by homes being returned to regular rental. Once again, it is all about the money.
Check out how many rentals require application fees. 100 people apply that’s pure profit. The next month the ad appears again. Then there’s the big time scammers who are renting out apartments that aren’t theirs. The housing market is worse than you think
UT: we can't expect rich people to follow laws, might as well just not have them
If only the government had some sort of way to enforce laws that apply to landlords and the wealthy like they regularly do to poor and working people.
No. Many STR owners are turning their properties into long term leases so they don't have to deal with the City's crazy STR rules. A landlord charging $3,000 a month on a one year lease is much more attractive than having to enter a lottery...
The short-term rental industry took a huge jump forward in 2008 when AirBNB took off. The industry would cease to exist with online booking. On-line booking makes it very easy to track, and prosecute, owners.
That's more easily said than done. Also vacationers want a place that's certified and that won't fall through at the last minute.
Make the fine 100X the cost of the fees, then thank a democrat for outrageous government control.
