New Orleans to Force Platforms to Verify Legal Listings
Short-term rental platforms will be required to ensure their New Orleans listings are legally permitted, under new measures passed by the City Council. The law won't take effect until March to give the city's Department of Safety and Permits time to set up the verification system. Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration already has technology that automatically identifies unpermitted listings, which online platforms take down when notified. But City Council member JP Morrell, who sponsored the new measure, said properties often quickly reappear on short term rental sites.
