Scottsdale, AZ
“Homes, Not Hotels”
“Short Term Rentals Ruin Neighborhoods.”
The following are signs that stand in neighborhoods near Old Town Scottsdale. This is an example of residents’ outcry in Scottsdale Arizona, where homeowners are voicing concerns over the impact of short-term rentals (STRs) on their neighborhoods, citing issues with noise, privacy, and crime. In areas like Peaceful Valley, locals report disturbances from STRs, with large parties and errant golf balls disrupting the community’s peace.
While so, 2016 Arizona state legislation, Senate Bill 1350, prevents cities from prohibiting STRs.
Scottsdale’s Assistant City Manager Brent Stockwell stated that while the city can’t ban STRs, it is collaborating with other Arizona municipalities to seek more local regulatory power over STRs.
