While discussing adopting a new ordinance in the ongoing effort to fight unruly short-term rental properties in Paradise Valley, a power struggle between two local leaders presented itself at the dais.
A relatively new ruling by the Arizona Legislature is giving the Town of Paradise Valley an incremental step in the right direction to curb problematic short-term rental operators.
House Bill 2672, adopted last spring, and signed by Gov. Doug Ducey on May 21, says legislation is now providing cities and towns the ability to adopt regulations requiring short-term rental property owners to provide contact information, and to respond promptly to complaints, as well as limiting the use of short-term rentals to residential uses.
