Airbnb & Zoning: A Planner & Lawyer’s Guide to Short-Term Rentals
June 6, 2016
Noon to 1:30 PM Central Time
Airbnb is a name you’re likely familiar with. It’s a local
official’s nightmare and a short-on-rent-tenant’s dream. Zoning enforcement
officers and building inspectors are issuing violations, hotel industry
lobbyists are crying foul play, and New York City has outlawed it altogether.
In this webinar, Troy Flanagan, AHLA, George Proakis, City of Somerville, and
Ulrik Binzer, Host Compliance, will provide insight into the legal and economic
issues surrounding the “sharing economy” titan. Specifically, attendees will
learn about the common pitfalls that local governments run into when trying to
regulate short-term rentals, the best practices for incorporating local housing
and community development objectives into short-term rental regulation, the
challenges associated with monitoring compliance with, and enforcing,
short-term rental regulations, and the best ways to overcome the compliance and
enforcement challenges.
Speakers include George Proakis, Director of Planning for
Somerville, MA; Troy Flanagan, Vice President of State and Local Government
Affairs at the American Hotel and Lodging Association in Washington, DC;
Jeffrey Goodman of Miller Urban Consulting in Louisiana; and Ulrik Binzer of
Host Compliance LLC in San Francisco, CA.
