A recent ruling by the El Dorado County Superior Court has overturned Measure T, which restricted short-term vacation home rentals in residential neighborhoods in South Lake Tahoe. This measure, approved by voters in 2018, aimed to limit such rentals to tourist and commercial zones while allowing some exceptions. However, property owners contested its constitutionality, leading to this court decision that struck down the measure entirely. This ruling may enable property owners to apply for rental permits again and opens avenues for potential lawsuits against the city for lost rental income.
The court struck down Measure T in full, rejecting the city's argument to separate the ban from the unconstitutional exemption for permanent residents.
This win is for every property owner in South Lake Tahoe who wants to responsibly share their home with visitors, boost our local economy, and exercise their rights.
The ruling creates opportunities for property owners to apply for short-term rental permits, as the measure preventing them has been overturned.
The South Lake Tahoe City Council has 60 days to file an appeal against the court's ruling overturning the short-term rental ban.
