The motion made by Councilmen Herb Wesson and Mike Bonin regarding the regulation of short-term rentals will be discussed at the Planning & Land Use Management (PLUM) committee of the City Council Tuesday (25 August), 2:30 pm, City Hall, 200 N. Spring St, LA 90012.
The motion proposes to allow for someone to share their home while prohibiting rogue hotels and halting a frightening loss of rental housing caused by the abuse of short-term rentals. You can read motion here.
Tricia Keane, director of Land use and Planning for the Council Office, mad the statement:
The loss of affordable housing is critical, and we recognize that the City must act now to protect neighborhoods from the negative impacts of short-term rentals. We don’t want to take away someone’s ability to make ends meet by renting out an extra room or guest house, but we also cannot tolerate how a growing number of speculators are eliminating rental housing and threatening the character of our neighborhoods.
