Greenville City Council is exploring ways to address resident complaints about short-term rental disruptions like parties and noise, but faces significant limitations from state laws and court rulings that restrict local regulation.
- City staff identified approximately 252 short-term rentals within city limits, mostly listed on Airbnb.
- Residents are complaining about parties, noise, and parking problems from STR properties.
- State law prevents cities from requiring STR registration, permits, or pre-approval to operate.
- A court ruling against Wilmington found that requiring parking plans amounts to illegal registration requirements.
- Cities can only inspect STR properties when there’s reasonable cause for safety violations.
