Ninth Circuit upholds preliminary injunction against Clark County rental rules
A preliminary injunction against Clark County’s short-term rental rules was largely upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, KSNV News 3 Las Vegas reported. The court affirmed a lower court ruling in favor of the Greater Las Vegas Short Term Rental Authority, which alleged the county’s ordinances amounted to a ban due to slow processing, brief application periods, and a small number of available permits. The court remanded the case to narrow the injunction.

Muskegon caps licensed short-term rentals in neighborhoods at 25 percent
A 25 percent cap on licensed short-term rentals in neighborhoods is enforced in Muskegon, Mich., Reason Foundation reported.

In Louisville, Ky., short-term rentals can be no closer than 600 feet from another rental. Localities frequently turn to online platforms to demand user data for enforcement compliance.
