Richmond proposes new laws for Airbnb, other short-term rentals 

Richmond residents, city leaders and property owners shared concerns about proposed changes to how short-term rental accommodations - like Airbnb rentals and VRBOs - are operated.
For the first time in three years, the City of Richmond is revisiting its efforts to control the number of legal short-term rentals. The City’s proposal hopes to prevent overcrowding and keep long-term housing available for residents.
There are currently an estimated 5,000 short-term rental properties in the Richmond area.
