Plano approves one-year ban on new short-term rentals
The Plano City Council has adopted a one-year moratorium on any new short-term rental homes through companies like Airbnb or VRBO. The Council took that step after hearing from residents who complained that short-term rentals could attract large crowds and activity that was inappropriate for neighborhoods.
"We all know the severity of the STR situation that is growing by the day," said Plano resident Suzanne Pappas."Every moment we hesitate is another opportunity for a pop-up brothel, a shooting through a three-year-old's playroom, another weekend of neighbors dreading what they might be dealing with - depending on who shows up to the STR that weekend."
