[RPPTL LandTen] Legislative Changes

[Neil B. Shoter]

SB 476 revises definition in Chapter 509 related to vacation rentals. The bill does not have a companion Senate bill and has not yet been referred to committee.  The bill provides that vacation rentals are residential property for purposes of provisions related to treatment of such properties. Requires the operator of a vacation rental to retain any advance payment or deposit until the occupancy begins of is canceled. Clarifies that vacation rentals are exempt from certain sanitary rules. We have not been asked to opine on this bill, but may, if it moves further to committee.
