Legislation introduced late Monday at Cleveland City Council would require annual licensing of the properties – and allow the city to revoke those licenses, if there’s a problem. The proposalalso would limit the number of short-term rentals allowed in residential areas.
'We've had limited resources' Cleveland started regulating and taxing short-term rentals in 2016 when the city hosted the Republican National Convention. But council members have been saying for years that the city’s rules don’t help much when a property becomes a neighborhood nuisance. The city could withhold or revoke licenses for properties that don’t meet health, fire, safety and building codes.
'We want to bring people to Cleveland' “Oh my goodness, this is a lot,” said Mackenzie Marx, an Airbnb host in Tremont.“We’re doing this because we want to bring people to Cleveland,” said Marx, who has been hosting for about a year. “We want to bring people an opportunity to stay right where those that live here stay. And experience things. And be in the neighborhoods.”
