Tell us what you think: How should Charlotte regulate short-term rentals?
There are more than 3,000 short-term rentals operating in Charlotte, according to AirDNA, a vacation rental research firm. For the first time, the city of Charlotte is proposing regulations around this growing market.
The proposals can be found in the first draft of the Unified Development Ordinance, a lengthy document that spells out the rules of what can be built where in Charlotte.
The section on short-term rentals received hundreds of comments, many from people who run rentals and are opposed to certain regulations. Some say they rely on the short-term rentals as supplemental income while others say the market is contributing to the affordable housing crisis.
