My name is Traci ** and I am a multiple STR homeowner in Arlington, Texas. I am looking for support from other hosts in the city to go in front of City Council during the January Town Hall meeting in support of our businesses. If you don't know yet, the city is making Legislation that very well may put the majority of us out of business. They are considering requiring that you LIVE IN the home you are rentting. They are also considering limitting the amount of Short Term Rentals in a given area. Another consideration is limitting the number of guests allowed in a home. They could also re-define what a STR is, like Ft. Worth did, which TOTALLY ELIMINATED the business in the city of Ft. Worth.
I am considering putting together s committee of hosts to make our voice heard!!! The complaints that are coming from the more affluent neighborhoods that have some STRs that are hosting 20+ people are being heard LOUD AND CLEAR by Councilman Charlie Parker. He is NOT IN FAVOR OF ANY STRs in the city!!!!!
They have hired Cost Compliance to come in and develop the legislature that will be adopted by the city. Please educate yourself on them. They are a third party vendor that is doing research into flushing out STR owners who are not registered with the city.
If you are interested in helping with the cause, our goal is to show how we IMPROVE the integrity of the neighborhoods. How we BRING IN REVENUE for the city and for the BUSINESSES in the city. How we help our guests MAKE GOOD MEMORIES in the city of Arlington, Texas.
I NEED SUPPORT!! We need to be a louder voice than all those citizens that are COMPLAINING....as well as show that we as hosts CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OUR EXISTENCE, and what it does to the NEIGHBORHOODS and CITY in general.
