US: San Francisco mayor vetoes 60-day cap on short-stay rentals

By  |  December 11, 2016

San Francisco’s mayor vetoed legislation that would have capped Airbnb and other short-term rentals to a strict 60 days a year.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Mayor Ed Lee issued the veto Thursday, saying it would make enforcement of the current law more difficult and drive more people to rent out units illegally.
