Salt Lake City is launching its first licensing program for short-term rentals, with new rules taking effect July 1 as part of the city's 2026-27 budget.

Blue River trustees remain divided over the town’s emergency moratorium on new short-term rental licenses and renewals, with some officials arguing the measure was adopted too hastily while others defend it as necessary to address longstanding compliance and enforcement issues.

Rather than repealing the temporary freeze, the board agreed to hold a series of work sessions to review enforcement policies, improve compliance, and potentially shorten the six-month moratorium before its scheduled expiration. Trustees also approved new software to better monitor short-term rentals and identify unlicensed properties.

Los Angeles, CA

A Los Angeles lawsuit accusing Airbnb of violating state and local price-gouging laws during the 2025 Southern California wildfires is likely to move forward after a California judge tentatively rejected the company's request to dismiss the case.

The city alleges Airbnb's "Smart Pricing" tool contributed to unlawful rental price increases exceeding emergency limits and claims the platform failed to adequately verify certain listings. Airbnb argues hosts independently set rental prices and that its pricing tool is optional.
