While there is no official count, there are likely between 2,400 and 4,000 listings in New Orleans. The vast majority of these short term rentals operate without the proper approvals. Even if an operator wanted to follow the rules, get a license, and pay fees and taxes, the use is allowed in very limited locations. Under the current regulations, short term rentals are allowed in few districts and there is no licensing structure to regulate short term rentals. Having a structure in place is important to regulate short term rentals, to minimize the negative impacts on surrounding properties, and to facilitate enforcement on problem operators. Recognizing the issues with the current short term rental regulations, the City Council passed Motion M-15-391 directing the City Planning Commission to produce a Short Term Rental Study. The study was guided by the following goals and objectives: Ensure the safety of visitors; Protect neighborhood character and minimize impacts to residential areas; Enable economic opportunities; Create equitable regulations for the hospitality industry; Create regulations based on best practices that respond to the unique circumstances in New Orleans; Generate revenue for the City; Facilitate public notice and information; Allow short term rentals based on their impact; Propose regulations that respond to the unique impacts of each short term rental type to minimize nuisances; Propose enforceable regulations; Prioritize enforcement; and Implement a system where problem operators would not vest property rights. Key Findings Based on the review of nationwide best practices and the analysis of the situation in New Orleans, the following key findings informed the proposed short term rental recommendations: There are likely between 2,400 and 4,000 unique listing in New Orleans. About 70% are whole unit rentals with an average nightly rental rate of $250. Demand for short term rentals is significant and mostly concentrated in the historic core neighborhoods. Short Term Rental Study iii Short term rentals, as sleeping accommodations for non-residents, are subject to more stringent building code regulations than the typical single- or two-family residence. Many cities have struggled with the regulation and enforcement of short term rentals; however, the cities that have been most successful have categorized short term rentals into different types based on their impacts, put standards in place to ensure guest safety, set appropriate fees and fines to incentivize compliance, and reevaluated and revised the short term rental regulations after their implementation. Short term rentals are residential uses with commercial type impacts which should be permitted in commercial and mixed-use districts and only allowed residential districts in limited circumstances. Short term rentals with lesser impacts, like those that are temporary or have a permanent resident present at the time of the rental, should be categorized separately and regulated with fewer restrictions. To preserve the existing residential housing stock for permanent residents and prevent proliferation of short term rentals in high demand residential neighborhoods, whole unit short term rentals should not be permitted by right, except in owner-occupied two-family dwelling and should be limited in density in residential districts. The Department of Safety and Permits should create a new license type and would administer and enforce the short term rental regulations. The City and the platforms should explore opportunities to cooperate on legitimizing and regulating the short term rental industry. Under the current tax structure, there is minimal revenue generation potential as short term rentals with two (2) bedrooms or less pay no taxes and between three (3) and five (5) bedrooms only pay $0.50 per room per night. Those with six (6) or more bedrooms are subject to the 13% hotel sales tax, only 1.5% of which goes to the City. Revisions to State laws are required to change the current tax structure. This should be put in place prior to allowing short term rentals to fund their licensing and enforcement. Recommendations Land Use and Zoning The City Planning Commission recommends revising the Short Term Rental definition to clarify that it takes place in a residential dwelling, rented to one party for less than thirty (30) days, and common bathrooms are allowed. There should be no neighborhood prohibitions for short term rentals. The following three (3) types of short term rentals are proposed: Accessory Short Term Rental: A short term that is accessory to a residential use. The partial unit accessory short term rental is limited to two (2) bedrooms (up to 25% of the unit) and three (3) guests. The whole unit rental is limited to where the property owner lives in one half of a two-family residence and the other half is used as a short term rental with up to three (3) bedrooms and six (6) guests. The operator or owner shall be present at the time of the rental. This type shall be allowed as an accessory use in all districts where a residence is permitted. No additional parking beyond that required for a residential use is required. A Type A Short Term Rental License is required. Short Term Rental Study iv Temporary Short Term Rental: A permanent resident can rent the entire dwelling unit, with a maximum of five (5) bedrooms and ten (10) guests, using up to four (4) temporary use permits for a total of thirty (30) days per year. This type shall be allowed as a temporary use in all districts where a residence is permitted. No additional parking beyond that required for a residential use is required. A Type T Short Term Rental License is required. Principal Residential Short Term Rental: A property owner can rent an entire dwelling unit for the entire year, with a maximum of five (5) bedrooms and ten (10) guests, subject to conditional use approval in all residential districts. The conditional use must be renewed after three (3) years and there shall be a cap of between two (2) and four (4) Principal Residential Short Term Rentals and bed and breakfasts per square (based on the location). If parking is required, then one (1) parking space per two (2) guest rooms shall be provided. A Type P Short Term Rental License is required.1 Commercial Short Term Rental: A property owner can rent an entire dwelling unit, with a maximum of eight (8) bedrooms and sixteen (16) guests, as a permitted use in most commercial and mixed-use districts with limited restrictions. If parking is required, then one (1) parking space per two (2) guest rooms shall be provided. To ensure consistency between these proposed short term rental regulations and the bed and breakfast regulations, the bed and breakfast regulations should be modified

  • Short-Term Rentals and Los Angeles' Lost Housing
    Short-Term Rentals and L.A.’s Lost Housing Roy Samaan | 24 August 2015 In March 2015, the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) released Airbnb, Rising Rent, and the Housing Crisis in Los Angeles. That report, based on data gathered in October 2014, found that Airbnb listings were dominated by commercial operations and were exacerbating the lack of affordable rental units in L.A.’s already tight housing market.1 The goal of this reassessment is to determine how the size and scope of the short-term rental (STR) industry has changed over the last nine months. This policy brief examines listing information from a broad range of STR operators alongside new Airbnb data. Combining these data sources allows for an examination of how Airbnb’s internal composition has changed over the last nine months and allows for the creation of a more refined snapshot of the Los Angeles STR industry.2 Estimated scope of short-term rental industry has more than doubled The short-term rental industry is more than twice Table 1: Total Unique Listings and Market Share for Los Angeles STR Operators as big as previously estimated, with a combined Share of L.A.’s STR Company Unique Listings 23,268 units spread across 19 different platforms. STR Market Airbnb remains the largest player, with 65 percent of all short-term rental units in Los Angeles Airbnb 15,031 64.6% County. Their 15,031 listings represent a 32 Major Competitors 6,295 27.1% percent increase from October 2014 to July 2015.3 VRBO 2,286 9.8% HomeAway 2,275 9.8% Three well-established, national companies make FlipKey 1,734 7.5% up the next tier of Los Angeles’ STR market.

  • STR Compliance Software Memo
    DATE: November 18, 2020 TO: W. John Moore, Mayor Yachats City Council FROM: Shannon Beaucaire, City Manager SUBJECT: Vacation Rental Monitoring Software At the November 5, 2020 meeting, the Council requested further discussion on vacation rental monitoring software at its November 18, 2020 meeting. This has been a continuing conversation over the last few years. Attached is the PowerPoint that the Mayor received from Granicus, that was shared with Council. Granicus purchased Host Compliance, the company that I brought to the Council during our continuing conversations. Notes from the Granicus meeting: In looking at the 5 cost options, Granicus stated that we probably don't need the Mobile-enabled registration/tax collection model, and did not include that $5,000 cost in what the Mayor reported at the council meeting. This module would primarily be used to move non-licensed VR owners to apply for a vacation rental license and pay their taxes through the module. Since we have a cap and would not be moving them towards obtaining a license, there doesn't seem to be a current need for that module. Granicus costs are based on the number of active (licensed and unlicensed) vacation rentals and are reset annually. Therefore, 2nd year costs may be lower than the first-year costs. Following are websites of short-term rental compliance software: Granicus https://granicus.com/solution/govservice/host-compliance/ Selected cities served, including Oregon cities, are in the Power Point. 1 Lodging Revs https://lodgingrevs.com/ Utilized by the City of Newport, OR https://www.newportoregon.gov/dept/adm/agreements/2693/agreement_2693.pd f Accela https://www.accela.com/solutions/short-term-rental/ Property Guard https://propertyguard.io/solutions/ Harmari https://www.harmari.com/harmaristr/ Articles regarding short-term rental compliance software (note: some of the products noted in the article have been merged into single companies.

Prof. Dr., Ph. D. Student Ralitsa Georgieva, University of World and National Economy, Department “Economics of tourism”, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract This paper examines the sharing economy and the application of its manifestations in the field of business as a whole and in particular- at the tourism sector in Bulgaria. Identified are theories, regarding the technology of the sharing economy, that are also being studied by foreign researchers in order to differentiate its specificity and to illustrate its impact on diverse aspects of business. The development of the collaborative consumption also determines a restructuring of the tourist market and imposes changes in the demand for tourist product. A result of the opportunities it offers is the emergence of unpredictability at the consumer’s behavior- tourists are looking for a new type of product to be created for their individual needs. Improving the link between the client and the others, involved at the creation of a tourist package, as well as offering new and diverse tourist products are presented as a way to respond to the current demand changes. Outlined are trends in the formation of a new tourist product, adapted to the contemporary consumer’s needs.
