List of states with moratoriums on STRs

[Cliff H.]

So Massachusetts just became the next state to put a near-term ban on short-term rentals at the state level. Since I doubt Air/VRBO have any interest in compiling a list of states putting a hold on their core business, thought it might be good to break things out here. From reading other posts, I think Florida had done the same last week? Can we use this thread to get a pulse on what's happening at a state-by-state level (versus debating the pros/cons of what's happening anyway)?

I'm with @Paul Cox and @Chuck Kramer in what many consider to be the greatest short term rental market in the world. 

While they have not yet totally shut us down, and I'd be surprised if they did just based on this being east Tennessee, I have noticed the quality of my bookings go way down the tubes. Every inquiry wants to know how much more of a discount I can give,  and the number of MBPS my internet is, etc. 

In the good times my response would have been "No discounts. Why do you need internet when the National Park is right here waiting for you." 

I find its best to stick to my guns even in these trying times, therefore I'm not accommodating the annoying requests of the few inquiries I'm getting. 

If however there's another 30 days of learning to live like this and paying out of pocket for mortgages -the policies will have to change. Life in general will have to change.
