Town updates rental code to exclude short‑term rentals from year‑round rental rules
Summary
Town Meeting approved housekeeping amendments clarifying that the existing rental code applies to year‑round rentals and not to the newly adopted short‑term rental bylaw; changes also update language to conform with fair housing requirements.
Town Meeting unanimously approved Article 18, which amends chapter 172 of the town code to clarify that the existing rental‑property regulations apply to year‑round rentals and do not apply to short‑term rentals governed by the newly adopted Article 17.
Proponents described the change as a housekeeping measure to ensure the town code aligns with the new short‑term rental framework and to update outdated language so the rental code conforms with fair‑housing standards. There was no extended debate; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
