Product Description
Approximately five years ago the Commonwealth of Massachusetts got serious about the regulation of Short-Term Rentals (STRs) when state legislators obtained then Governor Baker’s signature for the bill entitled, “An Act Regulating and Insuring Short-Term Rentals.”
Since then, cities and towns have adopted their own regulations and tax revenue has been flowing. But problems with short-term rentals persist, including complaints from neighbors about increased use of property and how the use impacts the character of our cities, towns, and neighborhoods.
This seminar analyzes the land use and zoning implications that STRs present, how the use fits (or does not fit) into traditional landlord/tenant law, and how homeowner associations are navigating this arena now that more regulations are in place.
Hear the panelists summarize the major sections of the Commonwealth’s STR statute, explain the various concerns of local municipalities when considering an ordinance to control or limit short-term rentals, and how landlords and community associations deal with this issue.
