In some cities where these rentals are very popular, it is currently illegal for a homeowner to rent out their property for less than 30 days if they aren’t home. Another issue is the equal payment of taxes. Whereas hotels are very heavily taxed – paying up to 15 percent or more in occupancy taxes to state and local governments – the same cannot be said for some of the social rental platforms. Added Kalkut, “There’s also mounting evidence that people are buying multiple properties just to rent them out for short-term purposes. This in turn drives up home prices for traditional buyers and brings up the question on whether this act is a commercial activity.” From Kiessling’s perspective, he stressed the overall need for continuity and a level of fairness among state and local governments. Inciting laughter from the crowd, he joked that restricting short-term rentals is a law from a bygone era, and regulations need to change to support short-term rental activity. “We should be creating laws with purpose,” he said emphatically. Blaesser believes the regulatory response regarding short-term rental issues is not going away any time soon. The growing appetite to both rent and rent-out properties for short-term purposes will cause state and local governments to review and potentially introduce more regulations that may threaten personal property rights. Data from NAR’s 2016 Investment an Vacation Home Buyer Survey proves Blaesser’s point that short-term rentals are becoming more popular. According to the survey, 42 percent of recent investment buyers did or tried to rent their property in 2015 for less than 30 days and plan to do so again this year.
