Episode Details

Chances are there's a home in your neighborhood that's available for short-term rental through Airbnb or VRBO.  The practice has become more common since a state law passed in 2016 expanded protections for short-term rentals.

Now, some are saying short-term rentals are causing an affordable-housing shortage in their area, and others complain rentals have increased noise, trash and disturbance. And there's a bill making its way through the Arizona Legislature that might change that.

In this episode The Arizona Republic's national political reporter Yvonne Wingett Sanchez demystifies short-term rentals along with Scottsdale reporter Lorraine Longhi and business and legislative reporter Ryan Randazzo.
