Short term rentals New Orleans

[Cassandra Staffieri]

I’m interested in any feedback anyone has on short term rentals in New Orleans. I’m looking to rent and then sublet (Airbnb). I currently have 17 in Boston and am looking to start in New Orleans. I’m looking into the commercial short term rental license. I know they’re currently discussing changing the regulations again so I’m not sure if anyone Airbnb’s there and has some advice! Any help is appreciated thanks!

@Cassandra Staffieri Your concept will not work in New Orleans. The city has halted all new short term rental permits, and all signs point to the fact that only the owner of the property that lives at the property will be allowed to get a short term rental permit when they resume (if they resume) issuing permits. Additionally, given the STR climate in New Orleans, I doubt you will find a landlord that will rent to you for the purpose of Airbnb.
