I think any homeowner that doesn’t rent would prefer that others around them wouldn’t rent as well. However, it’s all about selling new homes. Putting restrictions on rentals, and vigorously enforcing those restrictions, would eliminate a significant source of demand for new homes. Additionally, renters spend money to support local businesses, some that might not exist without the additional revenue. Therefore, rental restrictions aren’t happening. Personally, I don’t have a problem with long term rentals to 55+ tenants. It’s the short term AIRBNB type rentals and rentals to younger people that tend to not be in harmony with the existing neighborhoods.
