City leaders hope to vote on new rules to regulate short-term vacation rentals in Lorain by this fall.
Earlier this year, News 5 reported on the City of Lorain pushing for regulations on its rising inventory of Airbnb and Vrbo, and other short-term rental properties.
"We want to put some teeth into our legislation and we're hoping that some of the money that we generate from taxes and rental fees will help us hire enforcement officers to, monitor these short-term rentals," Mayor Jack Bradley said. At one meeting, a number of residents lamented about large parties, loud guests, parking issues, trash, and other disturbances coming from the rental properties. At-Large city councilwoman Mary Springowski said the short-term rental owners can often hail from out of state. Instead of having a vested interest in the quality of life of the neighborhood, the homes are viewed solely as profit centers, she said.
That’s why city leaders said they’re looking at establishing rules and regulations for short-term rentals, as opposed to a total ban.
