New Rules for Chicago’s Home-Sharing Industry Set to Kick In – WTTW (Chicago)

The new regulations will block hosts from listing their apartments or homes on a licensed home-sharing platform until the city approves their license. "For too long, communities have suffered from out of control ‘party houses,' in my ward and throughout the city,” said Ald. Michele Smith. “Chicago residents will now benefit from a new system that facilitates greater oversight of the shared housing industry.”
