City of Carbondale enforcing regulations for vacation rentals

CARBONDALE, IL (KFVS) - The City of Carbondale is reminding residents about new regulations for vacation rental units.

The ordinance, passed by the city council in December, requires residents to get a license through the city's Development Services Department when transient guests are staying at a vacation rental unit for less than 30 consecutive days.

According to the city, some of the units are being listed on popular websites like Airbnb, Vacation Rentals by Owner and HomeAway.com.
