November 29, 2018 — A Miami Beach homeowner is challenging a city ordinance restricting short-term rentals on platforms like Airbnb, claiming the city has imposed “constitutionally excessive” fines and cut off electricity and water for violations.
In a suit filed Monday in Miami but made public Wednesday, the property owner, 3098 Alton Road LLC, said Miami Beach’s ordinance curbing short-term rentals imposes crippling fines that are forcing residents out of their homes.
