Short-term rentals
Operative Text
A. Renting, leasing or letting of a single-family dwelling by a homeowner to another single family or individual for 90 consecutive days or more while the owner does not occupy the premises is a permitted use. No more than two such rentings, leasings or lettings may occur in any 365-day period. The rental, leasing or letting for a term of less than 90 consecutive days in a 365-day period is prohibited. The homeowner must notify the Village Clerk and Police Department of the name and contact telephone number of the individual(s) occupying the premises upon any renting, leasing or letting authorized under this section. B. In the event that this section causes a severe and substantial financial hardship to any property owner, an application may be made, in writing, to the Board of Trustees requesting an exemption from the provisions of this section. After due notice and a public hearing on such application, the Board of Trustees may grant such exemption and impose any conditions as may be deemed reasonable or necessary. No exemption shall be granted pursuant to this section, except upon a determination in the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees that severe and substantial financial hardship exists as a result of the application of the provisions of this section.
