Short-term rentals can’t hide in Truckee
By Sage Sauerbrey, Moonshine Ink
Short-term rentals have become a linchpin component in the housing conversation, and communities across the West have had very different ways of facing the issue.
Jackson Hole, Wyo., recently banned short-term rentals, San Francisco has adopted a series of different regulations, and Mammoth Lakes only allows short-term rentals in specifically zoned areas. Last year, Truckee searched for a solution and reached out to Ulrik Binzer and his newly founded company Host Compliance, and Placer County followed suit shortly after.
Host Compliance analyzes a set of 17 different public data sources to investigate where properties are being used as short-term rentals so that the town can contact them and bring them into compliance.
Read the entire article but I felt like I had just ate a large Chinese dinner and a hour later felt hungry again. Very little concrete info other than Host Compliance scans all media for bootleg home rentals.
No solutions to violating zoning regulations, noise, parking or a myriad of other ongoing problems created by motels in residential areas. It is time for SLT to ban all VHR’s like Jackson Hole.
