The ruling also reignited heated arguments surrounding short-term rentals in the city since they became popular in the mid-2010s.\n\"The neighborhoods are split on this,\" New Orleans city council member Freddie King said. \"Neighbors are split on this.\"\nAIRBNB CLEANING FEES TO BE DISPLAYED ON APP FOLLOWING USER COMPLAINTS: WHAT TO KNOW\nOpponents and supporters of increased regulations have been vocal about their contrasting feelings on the effects of the short-term rental market on the city.\nREAD ON THE FOX BUSINESS APP\nThose against the new rules say the Airbnb-style properties broaden the city's tourism market and provide \"necessary supplemental\" income to homeowners. \nSupporters of the regulations say the influx of vacation rentals, typically driven by outside investors and absentee owners, inflate property costs and taxes for residents. They also believe short-term rentals cater to partiers and have changed the atmosphere of the \"once quiet and charming areas.\"\nOne New Orleans native in favor of the regulations said his neighborhood has been \"taken over by wealthy investors.\"\n\"It's become a playground for tourists and for those wealthy investors,\" he said. \"We're becoming a smaller, whiter tourist resort. Less like the city I grew up in with every passing year.\"\nFAMILY SUES AIRBNB AFTER TODDLER DIES OF FENTANYL OVERDOSE IN RENTAL\nThe old regulation limited short-term rental licenses to the license-holder's primary residence – a residence for which they claim a Louisiana homestead property tax exemption, according to The AP, which eliminated out-of-state property owners.\nUpon review, a panel of three judges at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the aforementioned regulation unconstitutionally restricted interstate commerce.\nDawn Wheelahan, an attorney for short-term rental interests, told The AP on Friday that the challenges in court will continue. Two of her clients are reportedly a woman who has residences in Portland, Oregon, and New Orleans, and a company that manages short-term rentals in various cities.\nWheelahan said the new rules have multiple legal and constitutional problems, adding that the new requirement states only a \"natural person\" can hold a property license, not a cooperation.\n\"The prohibition against corporate entities holding permits violates the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision holding that corporate entities have the same First Amendment rights as natural persons,\" she said in an email to The AP.\nNORTH CAROLINA HOMEOWNER SAYS HER NEW HOME WAS LISTED ON AIRBNB BY EVICTED TENANT\nSome people already holding licenses said they are worried about their future income as existing holders who want to renew their licenses will have to win a lottery against other applicants on their block.\n\"You might put me in a lotto and, just like that, I could lose my retirement income,\" said one woman, adding that renting part of her house to vacation guests is more lucrative than having long-term tenants. \"If I have to go back to long-term rental, I will have to sell my house.\"\nCouncil member Eugene Green said the one-per-block limit is a compromise with the people who want vacation rentals completely eliminated.\n\"I've seen the signs saying, ‘My STR is my retirement,’\" Green said. \"But for the people that I've spoken to, their homes and their neighborhoods are their retirement.\"\nCouncil members included an amendment from King that gives property owners the opportunity to apply for an increase in the limit for a given area. In order for the application to be approved, there would be bureaucratic review, public comment from affected neighbors and a vote by the council.\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2322334106"}
