Glendale officials soften proposed Airbnb rules
Monday, September 16, 2019Glendale officials made several tentative concessions to Airbnb and other short-term rental hosts who showed up in force at a City Council meeting on Tuesday to voice their concerns about regulations that are in the work.
Glendale City Council members said they would reconsider a total ban on vacation rentals — where a host isn’t present during a guest’s stay — after hearing from several hosts and an Airbnb representative.
They also eliminated a cap on how many days a host who is present during a guest’s stay — known as home-sharing — can rent out a portion of their dwelling.
Last fall, the same council members indicated a desire to do away with all vacation rentals, citing nuisance issues they were creating — including noise, late-night parties and theft.
