In 1980-something, iconic comedian and A-list movie star Eddie Murphy released a single, “Party All the Time,” which was met with confusion, exuberance and later identified as a musical hallmark of a brilliant film and comedy career that continues today.
In summer 2019, the party-all-the-time mantra has reached a fever pitch following the creation of Arizona Senate Bill 1350 — and adoption of what some call the ‘AirBnB’ bill — as short-term rental operations are sprouting in desirable neighborhoods to the confusion and frustration of private homeowners.
SB 1350, which then-Arizona Senate Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R, sponsored, went into effect at the end of 2016 and restricts local cities and towns from regulating or restricting the use of vacation rentals or short-term rentals within municipal boundaries.
