Austin’s short-term rental regulations are being challenged The city of Austin is being challenged on an ordinance enacted earlier this year that regulates vacation rentals. Attorney General Ken Paxton intervened Oct. 5 in a lawsuit against the city of Austin over its short-term rental ordinance. Short-term rentals are properties rented for 30 consecutive days or fewer, typically booked through websites such as Austin-based HomeAway and AirBnB. A statement from Paxton’s office said he was “concerned that [the ordinance] exceeds the lawful scope of the city’s authority and infringes upon residents’ fundamental constitutional rights.” 4.
