Summary
The special magistrate found online advertisements for short-term rentals in a residential Keystone Point neighborhood and ordered the promotions removed within 30 days; the magistrate set a $500-per-day penalty for continued unlawful advertising and advised owners on contacting platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to take listings down.
Special Magistrate Jose Smith ordered property owners and managers in Keystone Point to remove online short-term rental advertisements after city inspectors found active listings on Airbnb, VRBO and other platforms.
The magistrate cited advertising for short-term rentals in a single-family residential area and said the city would require removal of listings and a compliance report within 30 days. "I will enter an adjudication of guilt and set a compliance date of 30 days, and that will be, for the record, July 18, for you to do what you need to do to get those illegal advertisements off the Internet," Smith told the owner and on-site representatives. "In the event of noncompliance, there shall be a daily fine of $500 until the violation is abated."
