Speaker, "Land Use Challenges Related to Short-Term Rental Properties," myLawCLE Webinar

 
Speaking Engagements

Richard Swor will present “Land Use Challenges Related to Short-Term Rental Properties,” at the myLawCLE Webinar on Tuesday, December 5, 2023.

Richard will be discussing how courts have interpreted land use related challenges to operation of short-term rental properties. Specifically, Richard will discuss how courts around the country have analyzed short-term rental properties in the context of zoning regulations and restrictive covenants. As the courts have focused on whether a short-term rental property should be considered “commercial” or “residential” in the context of these governmental and deed-based restrictions, so too will Richard discuss the nuances of this distinction, the importance thereof, and what factors courts have relied upon in making this determination. Understanding these distinctions is helpful for short-term rental property owners, residential communities with short-term rental properties operating therein, and attorneys advising clients in the short-term rental property sphere.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Short-term Rentals as a “Commercial” vs. “Residential” use in the context of zoning regulations
  • Short-term Rentals as a “Commercial” vs. “Residential” use in the context of restrictive covenants
  • Further considerations in the zoning and restrictive covenant context based on the nature of the Short-term Rental
