When will House bill 563 be finalized?

[Ashley Turner]

A bill before the Ohio Statehouse limiting local governments from regulating short-term rentals like Airbnbs and Vrbos will advance after passing a preliminary committee vote (9:4) on May 11, 2022. House Bill 563 limits local governments from regulating short-term rental properties. Not only does the bill prohibit municipal corporations, villages, and townships from outright banning short-term rentals, but it also restricts local governments from limiting the number, frequency, and duration of rentals. Prior to House Bill 563, state law left the regulation of short-term rentals to local governments.

I have not heard any recent updates or need on this, and was wondering if anyone knows what’s currently going on with this bill ? Thanks for the help! 

This passing would help me significantly, because my city has told me after 2 years of running my air bnb, that I am to shut it down, and I’m hoping this passing would give us home owners more rights on what we chose to do with our investments!

I spoke with one of the sponsors earlier this summer and she said it has hit some snags and needs to be re-written. I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. Moreover, my understanding is that it will not preempt any existing regulations, which is why many cities have been rushing to get regulations in place (e.g. Akron).
