Short-Term Rental Site In Venice Deemed Legal

Real Estate Partner Andrew Starrels was interviewed about the Los Angeles Superior Court decision and potential city-wide impacts of a civil suit involving short-term apartment rentals. The case was celebrated by some as a win for the short-term rental market.

"Based on the media reports, the decision—and there has not been a final judgment in the case yet—seemed far-reaching.," said Mr. Starrels. "Going deeper, I’m not at all sure there will be much widespread impact. ...This will not be the end of the case, however, as some claims about the owner’s activities remain for trial. Moreover, it is not at all clear that this will apply throughout the City because of the particular facts of this case."
