HALLOWELL – An owner of three local properties listed on Airbnb said the city would have to take her to court if proposed ordinance changes force her to put a sprinkler into her properties.
The City Council took a second reading of a short-term rental ordinance Monday. Ordinance changes are finalized after three readings, meaning only one more must pass before it is added to the city’s Revised Code of Ordinances.
