Lege Trend. Private Property Rights in Advertising Your Property. Advertising Replaces Preemption.

State: Utah

How did Utah end up protecting the right to advertise your property on AirBnB? 

  • The legislature left cities and counties with the ability to regulate short term rentals
  • But, the Legislature provided statewide protection by permitting advertising of your property on AirBnB platform. 
  • The advertising provision replaced a preemption provision.
