Pensacola, Fla., City Council members largely agreed that they wanted more data on short-term rentals in the city before formulating any regulations. Florida law prevents municipalities from banning vacation rentals or regulating the required length of stay, but cities can pass rules regulating the rentals as businesses. Several short-term rental owners turned out to the workshop and voiced opposition to any kind of regulation from the city.
