    HomeAway Sues Chicago Over Short-Term Rental Ordinance

    0
    By Brad Beckett on May 25, 2017 Legal

    The Chicago Tribune is reporting that home-sharing site HomeAway.com has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to overturn recent regulations affecting short-term rentals in the city of Chicago.  According to the report, Chicago imposed stricter rules last year on short-term rentals which affected sites such as Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway.com.  The ordinance imposes additional taxes on these rentals as well as limiting the number of units in a particular property that can be rented.

    “The flaws in the ordinance make it impossible for a person of ordinary intelligence, or any reasonable person who might be subject to the ordinance, to discern what is required of that person and what is prohibited, despite the threat of potentially crippling fees,” according to the lawsuit.

     

    Bill McCaffrey, a spokesman for the city’s Law Department, said the ordinance “is among the strongest in the country and enables the city to monitor rental activity and take action against hosts who commit violations.”
