Rockville is considering whether to allow short-term residential rentals, such as Airbnb, and how they could be regulated.
Some residents who are opposed say they don’t want residential buildings turned into “hotels.”
During a public hearing on Monday, a handful of residents said most condominium associations and common ownership communities already have rules that prohibit short-term rentals.
Short-term rentals can bring problems such as parking availability, security, noise, parties and insurance, the residents said.
There are no current or proposed laws in Rockville addressing short-term residential rentals a period of usually less than 30 consecutive days.
