Vermont lawmakers consider bills to regulate short-term rentals
By Curt Peterson and Polly Mikula
Two local towns, Killington and Woodstock, currently have short-term rental regulations and now the state Legislature seems to be interested in joining the fray.
Bill H.200, introduced by Representatives Kornheiser (Brattleboro), Colburn (Burlington) and Pajala (Londonderry), claims four purposes: Protecting the residential rental market, supporting full-time residency, discouraging real estate speculation, and leveling the playing field for short-term rentals and other types of lodging.
A “short-term rental” is defined as any sleeping accommodation that is rented in exchange for a fee for less than 30 consecutive days.
