Bill > HB469

This bill establishes a new legal framework for how municipalities and parishes in Louisiana can regulate short-term rentals, such as those offered through platforms like Airbnb. Specifically, local governments will be authorized to adopt ordinances that create permit requirements, registration systems, and safety standards for short-term rental properties. They can also create fines for violations, require inspections, and impose restrictions on rental duration (such as limiting consecutive stay length) and occupancy limits. The bill defines a "short-term rental" as the rental of residential property for overnight accommodations to transient guests for periods less than 29 days. By providing this legal structure, the bill gives local governments more flexible tools to manage and regulate short-term rental properties within their jurisdictions, addressing potential concerns about neighborhood disruption, safety, and community impact while still allowing property owners to engage in short-term rental activities.
