City illegally telling me I have to shut down air bnb?

[Ashley Turner]

I have 2 properties I have been running for 2 years, I’ve made this my full time job. I got a letter a few weeks ago from the city saying I was to shut them down immediately. I read through all ordinances and learned a lot about zoning during this process, and I believe what they are doing is illegal, and that I am in a zoning area that allows short term rentals, without needing a “conditional use permit” although I am no lawyer and this is all new to me…

if anyone is able to help me out and answer a few questions I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

I've learned most the time in ohio it's better to talk to the city and see what are the pathways to continue the airbnb, having a permit is pretty common I'd recommend just working with them. I ran 14 airbnbs in Columbus Ohio and same thing happened way back when it was becoming more common. especially if it is your full-time
