The debate over short-term rentals was in the spotlight in Fort Worth this week as the city turns to homeowners and others for feedback. During a public meeting on Tuesday, they made it clear the issue is very divisive.
The city of Fort Worth is once again trying to figure out what to do about short-term rentals like Airbnbs.This week, the city gave the public a chance to look at a selection of new plans to regulate short-term rentals.
"They have broken into my home," said homeowner Mike Holt. "They had gotten in my hot tub, and they had lit my chimney up."Right now in Fort Worth, short-term rentals are only allowed in parts of the city zoned for businesses or a mix of businesses and homes. "The city really has only been enforcing short-term rentals on a complaint basis," she said. "So it’s been more reactive than proactive over the years."
