July 11 – Land Use – L7

Short-Term Rentals:  Are They Giving You Sleepless Nights?

Short term rentals (STR) have had great impacts, some good and some bad, on communities and individuals.  Learn about the challenges that come with regulating STRs from the example of Austin, Texas, which has been one of several “ground zero” cities coping with STRs and how its regulations have evolved over time.  Our guest will be Trish Link, an attorney with the City of Austin’s Law Department, Land Use-Real Estate Division (B.A. Louisiana State University; J.D. Texas Tech University). Email our co-moderator, Dwight Merriam, with your questions and what you would like to see covered, and we will do our best to address them (email will be given when registered).

Speakers:  Trish Link, Dwight H. Merriam and Daniel R. Mandelker
