South Lake Tahoe awaits outcome of vacation home rental suit

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The resort city of South Lake Tahoe is walking the tightrope between enforcing a voter-approved ban on vacation home rentals in residential areas while also awaiting the outcome of a lawsuit filed against that very same law.

The Reno Gazette Journal reports the South Lake Tahoe's city council hopes to find the right balance while also holding out hope for a future compromise that would satisfy both sides of a heated Airbnb debate.

Last week, the council expressed support for implementing the new law's stricter occupancy limits and freeze on new vacation home rental permits in residential areas.
