MontanaProposal defines tourist homes as entirely unoccupied short-term rentals
The proposal would count an entire private home or condo as a tourist home only if an owner or manager never occupies it and it is rented for short stays.
What it does
The proposal would define a tourist home as a whole private home or condo that an owner or manager never occupies and that is rented for short stays.
Argument forA clear rule for whole homes that owners never occupy could help owners and officials distinguish tourist homes from other lodging.
Argument againstOwners who sometimes use their rental home themselves might be unsure whether it fits the definition, which could make classification harder.
More detail
The proposal would define a tourist home as an entire private home or condo that an owner or manager never occupies and that is rented to short-term guests. The definition covers private homes and condominiums rented to transient guests for daily or weekly stays. The home must be rented, leased, or furnished in its entirety. The proposal says it would take effect upon passage and approval.
