Hi community!
I've been hosting an home in Michigan successfully for two years, and love it. I have attempted, however, to expand into other cities and been blocked by the various cities and villages throughout Michigan that simply do not allow short term rentals at all of any sort. More common are those that only allow rentals for 30 days or more, which is not financially viable.
Now, the city that I currently host in has hired an attorney to send me a cease and desist letter personally, informing me that my short term rental is no longer allowed, and I must close up shop. I immediately contacted my own attorney, who told me there's nothing I can do.
Is this true? Are more and more cities locking out short term rentals? Are there any better attorneys more equipped with this to help us sort this out? I am not okay with shrugging my shoulders and allowing these cities to force my doors to close just for fun.
Thanks for any insight you have!
