Conyers drops proposed short-term rental ordinances

CONYERS — After months of discussion and opposition from residents concerned about the impact of Airbnb-style rentals on their neighborhoods, the Conyers City Council decided not to move forward with two proposed ordinances to regulate short-term rental properties. During its Nov. 4 work session, the council agreed to abandon Ordinances 1488 and 1490, which would have established where short-term rentals could operate and created a permitting and enforcement system for properties rented to guests for 30 days or less. The decision followed another round of public comments from residents who argued that allowing short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods could threaten their quality of life, introduce commercial activity into established communities and create additional enforcement challenges for the city. According to the city’s official meeting summary, the council will not place either ordinance on a future agenda for adoption. The decision leaves the city’s existing regulations in place rather than establishing a new permitting system. However, questions remain about how the city will address short-term rentals operating without authorization and whether it will consider additional enforcement measures. Four residents — Nadine Bailey, Judy Mauran, Jackson Welch and Carol Mills — addressed the council during the work session, urging members to reject
