Who else has issues with the town and their airbnb rentals?
I own a building that was rented out to long time tenants and I would like to operate it as several airbnb units. I am aware that we need a license and am all on board with that.
The town is in need of additional hotel rooms and one would think that they would welcome more rather than less airbnb spaces and the licenses which have to be renewed each year.
Now it appears that they have an issue with letting people rent a larger unit, lets say a 2BR 2bath apartent as 2 separate airbnb rooms. Even after installing fire walls and doors.
I am working with a local host who has the same problem.
I believe that if someone lives in an apartment and wants to rent out a spare bedroom it is the same issue.
Does anyone have any inmsights on this matter?
It seems the town is not quite sure what they want to accomplish. Hosting more guests and paying more in fees would be in their interest so why are they blocking this?
Any other local hosts interested in forming a common interest group?
