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.
