Developers look to limit loud parties at short-term rentals
New developers in Rutherford County, TN are looking to limit a homeowner’s ability to rent out their homes on third party sites, like Airbnb, by imposing rules through the HOA. Over 1900 people in Tennessee alone were denied rentals last Halloween after Airbnb introduced their “Party Ban” which added more restrictions on house parties to prevent further rental complaints from neighborhoods. Airbnb has also prohibited guests without a history of positive reviews from making one-night reservations in entire home listings. This of course will not eliminate the ability for a homeowner to rent out their homes completely, but it does eliminate people from buying a home with the sole purpose of turning it into a rental.
