Competing Property Rights and Short Term Rentals

What’s happening? Arizona is considering SB 1379 (2021 | AZ) that walks back statewide preemption of local short term rental rules. The change of heart moves from the idea that short term rentals are a part of our property rights vs. more control over short term rentals because property rights include the use and enjoyment of property by the neighbors.

Why is this important? Legislation to establish statewide rules that preempt local short term rental rules continues to make the rounds through state legislatures.

How will this be important? This fractures the vote on short term rental legislation.
