Short-term rentals are on the chopping block in some Montana cities

Montana cities have been feeling the housing shortage in the state and are looking to what could be a solution: Banning short term rentals, like Airbnbs and VRBOs.

The city of Bozeman banned short-term rentals where the owner doesn’t live on the property, and Missoula is considering taking similar action. The state is still looking at actions it can take to increase access to housing, as the Governor’s Housing Task Force reassembled last week.

Housing is an issue across the country, and other municipalities have taken similar measures to ban short-term rentals, like New York City, which recently implemented an up-to $5,000 fine for hosts who aren’t registered with the city, the New York Times reported.
