Short-term rental ban proposed for Town of Hempstead? Americas Largest Township 800,000 people
Under this proposal residential property rentals would be restricted to a minimum of 28 days. Also there will be provisions that would establish a residential property rental permit and registry program. The Santino home-rental registry and permit program would entail a fee of $500 for the initial two-year permit and a renewal fee of $450 thereafter.
Santino indicated that the town’s building department would be monitoring short-term rentals sites and real estate listings to ferret out violations.
“Prohibiting short-term residential rentals and establishing a rental permit and registry program will help achieve the important goals of keeping residential houses safe and maintain community character.”
