Chamber supports fair rules for short-term rentals

Digital platforms allowing people to book short-term rental accommodation have been one of the disruptive innovations that will define the past decade.
 
As with many technological changes, there are pros and cons, including a loss of long-term rental housing for locals and unfair competition for traditional accommodation providers.
 
The Chamber advocates for Fair Rules for new and established businesses and supports new initiatives to level the playing field. One proposal is to require companies promoting short-term rentals to share information with local governments. This would help municipalities track and ensure all businesses providing accommodation are licensed.
