维州sb1578 和SB1579.

第一，你出租你的一个房间需要所有你的邻居的书面同意

Step 1: You must track down all owners of all adjacent properties and notify them, in writing, that you are thinking of renting out a bedroom or home. Yes, your mere intent must be reported in writing to each of them. You might be saying to yourself, “But this is my home, and it isn’t anyone’s business if I choose to be a host!” Too bad.

Let’s look at the bill text:

If the short-term rental of residential dwelling units, or space within a residential dwelling unit, is authorized by a locality, the locality shall require:

That the operator provide written notice to all landowners with property adjacent to the residential dwelling unit of the intent to offer the residential dwelling unit for short-term rental.

The bill summary self-righteously claims the legislation is about “affirming local control” but instead the bill bluntly dictates to localities exactly what they “shall require” and it isn’t pretty.

你出租你的一个房间需要所有你的邻居的书面同意。你会同意你的邻居分租吗？你的邻居会同意分租吗？你以为你的邻居都是圣人吗？看看跟在我的帖子后面回帖的一帮乌龟王八蛋：http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/myhouse/5949886.html

在一个平均5年换一次工作，7年一次衰退的美国，你在付不起银行贷款的情况下，你竟然无法分租你的一个房间！

这还没完，还有更多：

第二，需要政府许可：

The bill requires:

That the operator request and obtain permission of the locality to offer a residential dwelling unit for short-term rental.

凭什么？为什么？我整个房子出租尚且不需要政府许可，凭什么短租一个房间需要许可？难道美国不是保护人民财产权的国家吗？

第三，需要为你的一个房间付最少50万商业保险

The bill requires:

That the operator offering a residential dwelling unit for short-term rental maintain a minimum of $500,000 in commercial premises liability insurance that covers all renters, third parties, and, for purposes of any damage that might be caused by a renter, persons and property immediately adjacent to the residential dwelling unit.

第四，恭喜你，你短租一个房间现在要用管地产经纪人的法规管理了。

Step 4: Determine if your hosting platforms have gotten into compliance with all state laws governing real estate brokers.

The bill states:

If a hosting platform facilitates the short-term rental of residential dwelling units in the locality, or collects payments for such transactions, such hosting platform shall comply with all applicable laws of the Commonwealth related to real estate brokers and the offering of property for rent in the Commonwealth.

这还没完，还有，

第五，现在政府说你可以租，你才可以租：

 The bill is written in such a way that short term rentals could, by default, be prohibited statewide except in localities that have taken action to expressly authorize them. This brings us to the $10,000 question. Let’s look at the bill again:

If a locality prohibits the short-term rental of residential dwelling units, any person or entity, including a hosting platform, that advertises or promotes such a rental in the locality shall be subject to a $10,000 fine for each violation, payable to the locality.

So the bill uses the word “If” both ways:

-“If” short term rentals are “authorized” by a locality, then you can apply for permission from the government to be a host and plod through the steps outlined above.

-“If” short term rentals are “prohibited” by a locality, then you will pay a $10,000 fine if you dare list your rental.

But what if your locality has neither expressly authorized nor expressly prohibited short term rentals? If the default position of the law is that the activity is prohibited, then your listing would trigger the $10,000 fine.

你什么时候给了你的当地政府这种在你自己的产业上要政府剥夺你自由的权利的？他们一旦得到你的授权，你以为他们会停在短租行业？不会限制你的长租行为？你现在不行动，是你把你的权力交给政府的。将来不要怨别人。

再说一遍，在一个平均5年换一次工作，7年一次衰退的美国，你在付不起银行贷款的情况下，你竟然无法分租你的一个房间！这发生在托马斯杰斐逊家乡，一个声称生命，自由，和追求幸福是天赋人权的地方。

行动起来呀，维州房主们。我们华裔人人都会买房，这项法案直接伤害到我们的切身利益。

既然知道了就得抗争。到州长桌上都可以否决。选出下界议员还可以推翻。这种枷锁绝不能要。

维州政客正在全面扼杀房屋分享行业。不愿意给自己脖子上套枷锁的维州居民请行动起来。 给政客发email:
