Local Ordinance Surfer Exception

What is happening? Honolulu has a current ordinance that requires minimum stays of 30 days for AirBnB, a proposal would increase that minimum stay to 90 days

Why is this important? it is part of the ongoing struggle between the tourism industry and residents that support short term rentals.

How will this be important? The short term rental industry is pushing exceptions for disasters for health care workers and other aid workers. Others want exceptions for professional surfers and those supporting the professional surfing industry.

Honolulu’s new law would require a 90-day minimum for short-term rental stays
