Most every person who rents an STR, is taking money away from a hotel. Why do you think the major hotel chains haven't got together, to ban STR's? Food for thought..

A number of communities IN FLORIDA have passed laws to chain up STRs since 2011. Communities are allowed to choose how to enforce a state law. Orlando’s post 2011 implementation is the best fix.
Accomplishing rigorous inspections
Asserting high local taxes
Requiring the landlord to be on the premises when renting
Limiting the number of guests per rental
Additional regulations we need are:
Buildings must be constructed in accordance with high volume use codes
Exits must be clearly identified and a lighted sign posted
Sprinkler systems in case of fire must be installed
Boarding laws must be posted in plain sight
These are all a great start and have generated revenue! Hotels have backed the move.
