Malcomb and Alicia Legland, Partner and Associate

efforts to regulate them, case law interpreting such efforts, and tips on
fashioning regulation. about how your community can regulate short-term

With the advent
of the share economy and its innovations, numerous regulatory challenges
have emerged for all levels of government. Legislation and regulation
typically lag far behind technological and societal development, often
resulting in reactionary policies to address new challenges and
opportunities. Shortterm rentals are a prime
example. Tug Hill has seen the explosion in popularity of individual
homeowners or investors utilizing popular websites to rent out rooms,
single-family homes, and apartment units for short periods of time, often
resulting in significant income to the property owners. This change often
results in impacts to neighboring property owners and the community at
large. Many local codes have not kept pace with these developments.

Hill Commission’s website at tughill.org/upcoming-workshops/. If approved by
your municipality, this webinar can count towards the four-hour training
requirement for planning and zoning board members.
