Seattle City Council Voting on Rental Regulations Today!

Seattle City Council Voting on Rental Regulations Today!
mm
Heather Weiermann
December 11, 2017

Today is the final city council meeting where new rental regulations for the short term rental industry in Seattle will be decided. Local vacation rental managers have spent the last two years working with and sometimes against city council on behalf of their businesses, their employees, their homeowners, the many vendors they keep employed, and the industry as a whole in Seattle. They have helped educate the Affordable Housing Committee on our industry, and have helped craft a workable legislation that will both support affordable housing, and protect homeowners right to rent their properties on a short term basis.

On September 15th, 2017 the Affordable Housing, Neighborhoods and Finance Committee passed CB119082 and CB119083.

The City Council will vote on these recommendations today. There is just one amendment that is of concern and would eliminate many properties from being able to rent on a short term basis.

Amendment 5 (which will be Amendment 1 when presented to the City Council) proposes: “Reduce the area that would be exempt from the proposed limit on the number of dwelling units a short-term rental operator can operate. As proposed, CB 119081 would exempt units being operated as a short-term rental prior to September 30, 2017, that are located within the Downtown, Uptown, or South Lake Union Urban Centers. This amendment would reduce that area to apply only within the Downtown Urban Center, south of Olive Way and north of Cherry Street.”

While local managers agree that balanced regulations are necessary, they believe this additional addendum does more harm than good.

    Last year our destination area had 77 vacation rentals on Vbro/Homeaway.

    This year we have 194 vacation rentals.

    There is a huge increase in deceptive geographical wording in newbie listing descriptions….unsuspecting renters may show up to journeys on dirt roads to nowhere or fighting for parking spots in dense condo gulags….

    Let the shakeout please begin-

Heather Weiermann @travlinsunshine

After growing up on the beaches of San Diego, Heather graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a Community Studies degree. Heather began marketing and managing vacation homes in 1999 as a favor to a friend who owned a beautiful home in La Jolla, California. Over the course of 14 years, Heather’s business, Southern California Vacation Rentals, grew to become one of San Diego’s leading vacation rental companies. In 2013 Heather sold her company, and after helping with the transition of ownership, Heather knew immediately she wanted to help other vacation rental managers realize the same results she found after implementing The NAVIS Way at her own business. Throughout her tenure, Heather has supported the vacation rental industry and other vacation rental managers by volunteering on local, state and national tourism and vacation rental committees and advisory councils. Heather served on the Board of Directors and as an Executive Committee Member of the Vacation Rental Managers Association from 2010 - 2014. Heather also founded the California Vacation Rental Managers Alliance and the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance. Both organizations were created to bring a much needed voice and public awareness to the region's vacation rental industry.
