TALLAHASSEE —
The score is now vacation rentals

power to regulate the former on Thursday cruised through another Senate
committee

A wave of opposition from local elected officials and lodging groups
couldn’t stop the Regulated Industries Committee from voting 9-1 on SB
1400 by Sen. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota. The bill – which has the support
of online vacation rental companies, including Airbnb and HomeAway – has
one more stop before it goes to the Senate floor.

Should it become law, vacation rental properties would be regulated
largely like hotels and motels, with owners who hold five or more
properties being subjected to twice-a-year inspections by state
regulators.
Local governments would be prohibited from passing ordinances regarding
the leasing of homes or parts of homes for short-term rentals but they
could set policies that address traffic, parking, and limit occupancy of
vacation rentals.
Vacation rental laws on the books prior to 2011 would be grandfathered.
“There’s still a lot of flexibility for local government to do what
they want to do,” Steube said.
Republican Sen. Dorothy Hukill, of Port Orange, who cast the lone nay
vote, disagreed.
“I really have concerns about how this affects city codes and county
codes also and what the powers (are) that they retain if this bill were
to pass,” she said. “There’s still so many issues for me.”
But vesting oversight with the state “is the right approach,” said
committee chairman Sen. Travis Hutson, R-Palm Coast.
“I think some of it’s kind of “gotcha politics” because I’ve not heard
from anybody being severely hurt in a vacation rental because of
structural code-type issues,” he said.
Earlier in the meeting, the committee approved an amendment proposed by
Hutson to the bill that ensures it would not supercede rules set by HOAs
or condominiums regarding vacation rentals.
Casey Cook, senior legislative advocate for the Florida League of
Cities, said the bill is missing language requiring vacation rental
owners to list the maximum occupancy of their dwellings on their
licenses and also disclose the number of nights their properties are
rented annually.
But a major problem with the bill is that it strips inspection
oversight from local governments – a move that could create a safety
risk because owners would not be required to have their vacation rentals
inspected prior obtaining a license, he said.
Many local governments adopted vacation rental ordinances – 30 since
2014 – to conduct those inspections, Cook said.
“We think we want those properties to be safe before folks are staying
in them,” Cook said.
Democratic Sen. Perry Thurston, Jr., of Fort Lauderdale, said
protecting customers against discrimination was the motive behind an
amendment he proposed but later withdrew.
The amendment would have required vacation rentals to be included in
the bill’s definition of public accommodation and require hosts to
maintain a registry of guests they denied lodging and make that list
available to the state for review.
Thurston said his recommendation was based on complaints from guests
who’ve had their bookings canceled and shortly thereafter see the
property relisted.
But AirBnb spokesman Brian Batista said the amendment is unnecessary
thanks to federal, state, and company anti-discrimination protections
already in place.
For example, AirBnb assist guests with finding new lodgings if they
arrive to a property but are denied accommodations, he said.
“While we recognize there’s always work to be done fighting
discrimination,” he said. “AirBnB and its peers have some of the most
progressive and comprehensive anti- discrimination policies in the
world.”
