LAS VEGAS – PROPOSED ORDINANCE AFFECTS STRs

The city of Las Vegas, Nevada has proposed significant changes to the Short Term Rental (STR) ordinance. Some of the changes would make it difficult or impossible to operate certain STRs within the city.

The most troubling changes include:

* Requiring an ON SITE manager, PRESENT AT ALL TIMES during a STR, for any property with more than 5 bedrooms. (This is not practical or economically viable)

* Maximum occupancy of 2 PERSONS PER BEDROOM. This includes day time hours and would essentially outlaw even small meetings or gatherings like a small birthday party in an STR

We vigorously oppose these 2 requirements and intend to fight these proposed changes.

Other more reasonable changes include:

* Requiring $500,000 minimum liability insurance

* Mandating that your valid business license # be included in every online listing (AirBNB, VRBO etc).

Any Las Vegas property owners who disagree with this proposal are invited to contact me. We intend to form an alliance to fight for and defend our property rights. The only way to defeat these proposals is with organization and cooperation. Its much easier to stop this proposal now before its enacted into law.

Message me if you’d like to get involved to stop this.
