Short-term rental regulations move forward in Pittsburgh city council
Summary
Pittsburgh City Council is moving forward with STR regulations, mandating licenses, zoning restrictions for investor-owned units, and a local responsible party within 25 miles. These measures address neighborhood disruptions, housing displacement, and incidents tied to parties in rental properties. Existing rentals are exempt from zoning approval but must obtain licenses, with the license bill vote scheduled in approximately 12 weeks.
