What We Protect
What "Right to Rent" Means
The right to rent is about protecting the ability of responsible short-term rental operators to be part of their communities, contribute positively, and advocate for practical policies that work in the real world.
This is not just about one property or one rule change. It’s whether hosts, managers, and local stakeholders have a voice in decisions that affect their homes, businesses, and communities.
Why Local Advocacy Matters Now
Short-term rentals are shaped locally. Rules are often made city by city, county by county, and state by state. That means the future of hosting is often determined by who shows up, who is organized, and who can speak clearly about what responsible short-term rentals look like in practice.
When operators are disconnected, it’s harder to respond to change, share accurate information, and build momentum around workable solutions. When people are connected, advocacy becomes stronger, more credible, and more sustainable.

Rules are written city by city. Showing up to your local meeting is the most direct advocacy there is. #RightToRent
