Atlanta Metro Short Term Rental Alliance

🚨 Atlanta STR Owners – Your Rights Are Under Attack! 🚨
On August 18, the Atlanta City Council voted to ban short-term rentals (STRs) in the Home Park neighborhood (SPI-8 district).
👉 The City’s Law Department says only STRs with existing City-issued licenses have “grandfather rights and may continue operating.
👉 AMSTRA strongly disagrees. We believe all current STR owners are entitled to grandfather rights and should be allowed to keep operating.
👉 To defend those rights, AMSTRA has retained legal counsel and is prepared to fight this in court.
⚠️ The Home Park ban is only the beginning. More legislation is coming that could put ALL Atlanta STRs at risk.

📅 Join us for an urgent meeting:
Wednesday, September 3rd 6-9pm
Bold Monk Brewery
1737 Elsworth Industrial Blvd NW Suite D-1
Atlanta GA 30318

Meeting is open to all STR owners – Come get the facts and learn how you can help protect your rights!
✊ Stand with fellow STR owners. Protect your property. Defend your rights.

Important Legislative Alert for City of Atlanta Short Term Rental Owners and Hosts:

PLEASE ATTEND TOMORROW’S MEETING OF ATLANTA'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT/HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE AND MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.

Meeting Information:
Community Development/Human Service Committee
Tuesday, March 25th at 1:30pm
Larry Di**le Committee Room - Second Floor
55 Trinity Avenue
Atlanta, GA 30305

We have learned that the CDHS Committee will discuss but not vote on overly restrictive STR legislation proposed by Byron Amos that would require a 1000' buffer between STR's, does not include grandfather protections for current STRs, and limits STR’s in multifamily building to 10%.
Public comment is at the beginning of the meeting. Each speaker has three minutes.

Key points:
• The legislation does not recognize our grandfather rights recognized by Georgia law. By law, every short-term rental currently in operation should be allowed by ordinance to continue operating, notwithstanding restrictions in the revised ordinance.
• A 1,000 foot buffer is unnecessary, overly restrictive and unworkable for enforcement.
• The 10% restriction on STR’s in multifamily buildings of three or more is also overly restrictive. Plus, a 10% restriction would mean that buildings with less than 10 units would not be allowed any units.

YOUR VOICE COUNTS. SPREAD THE WORD!

Important Legislative Alert for City of Atlanta Short Term Rental Owners and Hosts:

Byron Amos and Howard Shook have put forth a new proposed revised STR Ordinance that would require a 1000' buffer between STR's and does not include grandfather protections for current STRs.

The Amos/Shook proposed legislation will be put before the Community Development/Human Services Committee tomorrow at 11:30am. Although we do not expect the Committee to discuss the legislation during this meeting, please attend and make public comment.

The Amos/Shook legislation is attached to posts on AMSTRA's Members Only Group and our Public Group.
