Eight $1,000 fines were issued within the first four days of the South Lake Tahoe’s stricter vacation home rental ordinance.

The new rules took effect Dec. 22.

Four citations were issued for parking, two for exceeding occupancy, one for parking and noise combination, and one for being an unpermitted VHR.

Depending on the violation, either the renter or the owner is cited.

No longer are warnings given to people.

Owners can lose their VHR permit after three citations in 24 month period.
