For those Denver peeps involved in short-term rental management or who own their own STR or just anyone interested in the direction Denver's new Airbnb law:

The next Short Term Rental Advisory Committee meeting has been scheduled for 4-5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 29 in room 389 at the City and County Building. 

Last meeting provided some insights into just how the city may (or may not) be able to enforce the Airbnb rules. If anyone else is going, let me know so we can meet up there. Cheers!

    James, 

    The simple fact is that they are not going to be able to enforce it. They are going to catch a few people here and there with fine and big back taxes. It is not a long term solution:

    Here is what happened in New York: https://consumerist.com/2016/10/24/airbnb-sues-new-york-over-new-short-term-rentals-law-state-wont-enforce-it-yet/

    We are actually working with a new software company to help short-term rental owners and city co-exist. Here is some more information on them: http://strhelper.com/

    @Blake Brose, I tend to agree with you. According to Airbnb, they have 4,000-something listings in Denver. (I tend to think they're underestimating. They certainly have an incentive to not reveal a large number that might scare neighborhood associations and the city council.) 

    We'll see how it plays out, but I envision a complaint-driven game of whack-a-mole.
