The city could tighten regulations on short-term rentals, many of which remain unregistered despite rules requiring permits.
Milwaukee officials will consider new regulations on short-term rentals (STRs) such as Airbnb, reports Tom Daykin in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
One of the proposed rules would require owners to live on-site at the properties they rent, a rule already in place in Madison, Wisconsin. “The new regulations would be a response to complaints about loud parties and other nuisance behavior linked to short-term rentals.”
Although the city requires STR owners to register their properties and acquire a license, the city says the majority of the roughly 1,000 operating STRs are not registered.
Jezamil Arroyo-Vega, commissioner of Mayor Cavalier Johnson's Department of Neighborhood Services, said the department would need $500,000 to $1 million to create a master list of rentals and boost enforcement.
