In Key West, they stopped issuing new permits to landlords for weekly rentals five or so years ago. Those permits already out there were allowed to stay, but they would only issue new permits for monthly rentals. The reason was that the weekly rentals were drawing so many people into town that every contractor possible was buying up houses and turning them into rentals. The stock of affordable housing for the people who live and work in Key West went way down, with the housing prices going way up.

I hope they are not planning to reverse that regulation.
