Statement from Mayor Martin J. Walsh on short-term rentals

Mayor Martin J. Walsh today released the following statement on short-term rentals in Boston.

"My goal in regulating short-term rentals has always been to responsibly incorporate the growth of the home-share industry into our work to create affordable housing for all by striking a fair balance between preserving housing while still allowing Bostonians to benefit from this new industry. I look forward to signing this legislation and I am committed to monitoring the impacts to ensure it serves its intended purpose in our neighborhoods."
