Muskegon, MI
```In an October 22 meeting, the Muskegon City Commission has adopted a new ordinance for short-term rentals, effective the week of Nov. 11.
The ordinance includes a cap on the number of rental licenses per area and a one-time transferability clause for short-term rental licenses upon property sale. With this adoption, Muskegon’s temporary rental registration pause will end, and licenses will be available in areas under the cap. City officials plan to revisit the ordinance if needed.

Glenn Falls, NY
Glens Falls may soon implement new regulations restricting short-term rentals (STRs) in single-family residential neighborhoods, allowing them only in areas already zoned for multi-family housing, commercial, professional, or light industrial use.
The draft regulations would give existing STRs in restricted areas a five-year phase-out period. It also proposes a local occupancy tax on STRs, parking requirements consistent with each zoning area, and a clear definition of STRs as properties rented for less than 30 days, including both hosted and unhosted rentals. The committee recently opted against a moratorium, anticipating a draft ordinance ready for public review as soon as December.
