Motion presented by Council Vice-President Keefe, Council President Guinasso, Councillor McKenna: That the Mayor request the City Solicitor to revise Boston's short term rental ordinance (attached) to be applicable to the City of Revere. There has been a steady increase in the number of homes and condominiums being purchased for the sole purpose of operating short-term rental businesses thus reducing housing stock for families and individuals looking to purchase a property in Revere to live permanently. Boston's new short-term rental ordinance addresses this aspect of the short-term rental problem.
