Uniform regulations for “mini hotels” – short-term vacation rentals –– is proving to be a tough sell for FL lawmakers

The Florida Legislature is working on a new bill to regulate vacation rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. The bill aims to create uniform standards and regulations for vacation rentals, addressing concerns from both local governments and property owners. However, there are still disagreements over certain aspects of the bill, such as registration fees and fines for violations. The bill has been approved by a Senate committee and will now move to the House for further consideration.
