⚖️ HOUSE BILL 5438 - HB 5447You may be aware a new slate of short-term rental bills was introduced this Legislative Session by Representative Andrews (D - St.

Wholesaling legislation has passed or is being considered in over a dozen states now, as a result of the problems. 

Hi all,That is definitely a misleading headline and to be clear I just scanned the article but the past few weeks I've been reading numerous other articles about the proposed bills as well as the proposed bills themselves.The main goals of the proposed legislation is to give counties the ability to disallow 30 day rentals.   

hey @Mark Chetcuti, so a quick search shows that there is some legislation moving around in the EU to increase transparency on STRs plus more restrictions.There are some articles on the Brussels Times site, but a paywall keeps me from reading it.

Although the legislative history is different, it's helpful in this situation to examine that case law body.I believe the courts today would agree with and implement a functional equivalence test that examines state law, the operating/partnership agreement, and defacto treatment and actions of the member/partner. 

I ask because general principles of contract law generally do NOT prevail over regulatory constructs arising out of specific enabling legislation.

Heck- this legislative session, the state just passed a law stating that no city can pass any laws regarding rent controls or limiting the fees that a landlord can charge.

Crazy...Agree, you're starting to see legislation addressing this.

There is a delicate balance somewhere between keeping legislation strong enough to protect homeowners, while also not burdening the industry so much that people choose to do work illegally as you suggested, or take unnecessary time to deliver a finished project (and thus a home for somebody in this case).

Looks like they're trying to revive the old Prop 10 legislation from previous ballots and renamed it the "Justice for Renters Act" -->"Justice for Renters Act" Just another reason why I'm glad I'm not investing in CA.Happy to share my experiences.
