On a similar note: There are now nearly 6 months of data in weekly hotline call reports published by the Vacation Rental Compliance Department. I urge all other Palm Springs VR permit holders to join! (I'm not a found of this group, but have been working with them since before their official formation, and I was one of the first members.) This organization, which any Palm Springs vacation rental permit holder may join, literally has a "seat at the table" in the ongoing Vacation Rental Stakeholder meetings (one of which is taking place today). It's called "Vacation Rental Owners and Neighbors of Palm Springs. I realize this is an older thread, but just wanted to note that there is a new organization for vacation rental owners in Palm Springs. My view is that we homeowners should be allowed the freedom to use our homes as we wish, as long as we stay within the City ordinance and make sure our guests do not disturb anyone.

Anyone who knows a good lawyer and/or wishes to combine forces, feel free to contact me. I am currently researching potential legal steps one can take to stop this development. I feel this is an invasion of privacy and harassment as it is threatening my livelihood. It’s appears that the City is using the residents “complaints” as an excuse to make way to all the new hotels who are about to be launched in the City (ie (the Virgin hotel and others). Like many other home owners, I live of my rental income and will may be forced to sell (or loose) my home due to the Cities actions, which are clearly set up with the goal to eliminate short term rentals. I for one feel harassed and discriminated by the City, because it should be up me - the homeowner alone- who I allow in my home. All we do as homeowners is optimize revenues from our real-estate investments.
What I do not understand is why home owners are penalized even though they themselves are not the ones disturbing anyone. I also understand that such disturbances must be subject to fines. I do understand that the City and Palms Springs residents do not wish to be subject to loud and disturbing vacationers. Best source of info is, once again, the "Vote NO on Measure C" campaign.Īs many other home owners in Palm Springs, I too have my issues with the new ordinance targeted against home owners who allow short term vacation rentals. If you're interested in VRs and Homesharing in Palm Springs, best to keep an eye on the news about Measure C. If you don't have an active permit, it is unlikely that you would be granted access (there have been attempts to infiltrate this private group, as you might imagine). There is a private Facebook group whose membership is also restricted to VR and homesharing permit holders.
In terms of organizations: One of the lead organizations that lead the effort against Measure C is "Vacation Rental Owners and Neighbors of Palm Springs" (see Membership in this organization is open to any Palm Springs vacation rental or homesharing permit holder. But we will know the results of the vote very soon. However, at present it is of course impossible to tell with any certainty whether the Measure will pass or not. The "good news" is that a huge coalition ( - which includes the entire City Council, Mayor, the Chamber of Commerce, almost all other businesses, the hotel associations, etc., etc., etc. In short, if Measure C passes, the status of homesharing in Palm Springs will be in question. However, there is conflicting language in Measure C which makes it unclear if homesharing would really still be legal.
Now, the measure backers tried to design the law such that HOMESHARING is still allowed. (The details are complex.) If Measure C is voted into law, short-term vacation rentals would in R-1 zoned neighborhoods would be banned and would be unable to renew their vacation rental permits after a sunset period. That initiative seeks to ban vacation rentals in Palm Springs.
Hey the latest from Palm Springs is that there is a citizens' initiative ballot measure ("Measure C") on the June 5th 2018 ballot.
