🚨🚨Big Legal Win for Co-Living & Affordable Housing in Jacksonville! 🏡⚖️

Great news for housing advocates and property owners! This week, the City of Jacksonville Municipal Court ruled in favor of PadSplit, voiding citations for "illegal boarding houses" on constitutional and fair housing grounds.

This marks a huge victory in expanding affordable housing solutions while navigating legal challenges. By working closely with hosts, legal teams, and city officials, PadSplit successfully defended its model, ensuring continued housing opportunities for those in need.

With this case setting a precedent outside of Atlanta, it strengthens the argument for more flexible and inclusive housing policies. The conversation with city officials will continue as we push for zoning reforms that allow sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

This win is a step forward, but there’s still work to be done! What are your thoughts on this ruling and its impact on housing accessibility? Drop your comments below! ⬇️

    Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:

    good for padsplit terrible for anyone who has to live near one.. I would just hate to be an owner occ and the next thing I know my neighbors house now has 3 to 5 rooms rented with all the cars and traffic etc.. Be nice if they zoned certain areas that this would be allowed in.

    And I wonder if CCR or HOA can restrict these to protect the values of those homes ?


     have you had this experience?  I'm not a fan of co-living, I'm a fan of co-living done well :)
