You can not choose your neighbor

Please visit the https://mystichostsassociation.com/ for information and facts regarding the positives short-term rentals provide for our community.

While I empathize with our neighbors who are unhappy living next to short-term rentals, I think it is important to remember you can not choose your neighbor. My neighbor is an abandoned house, no one checks on it or cares for it, it is overgrown and disheveled. I take pride in my short-term rentals. I speak with neighbors constantly, they even perform work at my homes. I communicate clear directions and rules to all guests who stay at my home and have never had an issue. I have parking for my guests, a clean and safe environment for families to enjoy their stay in our town.

I think we need to ask ourselves if this is a short-term rental problem or an issue with a few short-term rentals in the area. There is a big difference there. Taking away income from families who have relied on this for so many years would be detrimental to them, as well as the business in the area who rely on tourists.
