The courts just put a temporary restraining order on the city today which led to the City not issuing any new STR permits (even if you jumped through all of the hoops they held in front of you). I still see hundreds of listings on AirBNB and VRBO. How are people getting around these restrictions? Asking for a friend! TIA

Just do it anyway, they don't have enough resources to enforce the rules.

Short-term rental as in.. Like a B&B? I know someone who bought a house in NO months before they put restrictions and his house ended up being an area where he could only list it as a B&B during certain times of year (which went form like August to March so the busiest time in NO he couldn't list it as a B&B), but he ended up still renting it out a good bit through word of mouth.

Do they do this to protect the hotels or something?

If you run a decent one with no complaints they aren't going to come after you.

Shooting people is also against the law, yet dozens, even hundreds of people do it anyway.

And “affordable housing” issues. Can’t have all the out of towers pouring money into a shitty city to run the shitty residents out……

They’ll go after landlords way before they go after killers.

A poorly run one is like section 8 housing on your street.

I literally just finished a duplex and a tri plex on Esplanade. Not sure what I’m going to do with them now.

Many of the permits expired on August 31, 2023....and now they can't renew.

Maybe they haven't heard the news yet. The city doesn't inform folks of anything.

I'll get downvoted for this, but I don't like the idea of STRs in New Orleans (at least in neighborhoods). A coworker of mine lives in the Garden District and a few years ago, somebody turned their neighbors house into a AirBNB. It then just turned into having drunk, loud tourist throwing parties in it. It got so bad the neighbors actually got the city to do something to stop it.

New Orleans has plenty of hotel rooms, why do they need to rent out houses as well?

They installed the meters today. I was thinking about furnishing them and renting to traveling nurses per bedroom.
