City of Portland Minimum Stay rule change

Hi. I have a listing in Portland, OR that has been on the app for 7 years as a 2-night minimum. Suddenly in the last few weeks, the app has set it to a 30-night minimum.  When I called Support, they said it's due to a law change by the City of Portland.  I received no notice of this from either Airbnb, nor the City.  My calls to the City have so far not been returned.  I am losing bookings because of this and am beyond frustrated.  Does anyone in Portland have any insight they can pass on to me?

@Bryn13 Does the link below help? I am guessing that without a licence you have to rent for 30 days+

Thanks for the link.  That's the odd thing - I AM licensed - have been for 7 years.  Just can't figure out why it would suddenly change without notice.  I'm all for jumping through hoops - it's Portland after all - but I need to know which hoop!!!

I don't live in Portland, but here is a suggestion. @Bryn13 

 

Check to see if your STR license as listed on Airbnb has expired?
