Judge Dismisses Lawsuit over STR Permits in New Orleans

9/9/2025

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by Airbnb and New Orleans residents challenging the city’s new short-term rental law.

The judge ruled there is “no fundamental right to rent out residential property on a short-term basis,” upholding the August ordinance. He also required platforms to verify listings before bookings.
