Will Newport Ban Short-Term Rentals?
7/17/2024
The City Council of Newport, Rhode Island, has set a plan in motion that could ban all new short-term rentals (STRs) in the city. A new resolution was written to close a loophole created through a combination of recent city ordinances and statewide zoning changes that could allow prospective investors to buy properties previously used for commercial or industrial purposes and convert them into STRs. The resolution, which passed unanimously, does not immediately ban new rentals, but the ordinance it requested the city administration to draft by the next council meeting on July 24 will do so if it's approved.
