TREND. Statewide Short Term Rentals. Prohibiting Local Prohibitions.

Michigan’s Senate Bill 329 and House Bill 4503 prohibit local governments from creating anti-short term rental ordinances. 

How are these bills keeping short term rentals alive?

• The bills prohibit cities from restricting short-term rentals in residential districts
• The bills also do not allow cities to define a property renting for less than 28 days as a commercial use, a method some cities use to stop short term rentals.
