What it does
This bill would amend the requirements for short-term rentals in the owner-occupied dwelling unit of one- and two-family dwellings by (1) increasing the number of allowable boarders, roomers, and lodgers to 4, not including any children under the age of 18; (2) allowing the owner-occupant to host guests without being physically present at the dwelling unit during the short-term rental; and (3) addressing the common household requirement, commonly known as the “unlocked doors provision”, by allowing the owner-occupant to lock doors to private bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, and storage areas provided that required means of egress remain available.
