Increased Local Control Over Online Property Rentals

New rules will make it easier for state and local authorities to enforce their own property rental regulations, even if transactions occur online. This means online platforms can be held accountable if they knowingly facilitate rentals that violate local laws or agreements. The aim is to protect property owners' rights and ensure compliance with local regulations.
Key points
Online platforms can be sued if they knowingly facilitate property rentals that violate local law or agreements.
Property owners must provide written notice to the platform about a violation before legal action can be taken.
The act strengthens the ability of local authorities to enforce property rental rules, regardless of how bookings are made.
