TOMS RIVER — The public will get a chance to chime in on a revised version of a controversial ordinance regulating short-term rentals, like those found on Airbnb and Vacation Rentals By Owner.
The amended ordinance eases restrictions on the minimum number of rental days on properties on the barrier island from three nights to two nights through April 1 through Nov. 30.
“It was determined that a minimum two-day rental during an extended season would be more workable on the barrier island and would not detract from the overall purposes of the ordinance,” it states.
A minimum 30-day stay will be enforced in all other parts of Toms River.
The township’s assistant attorney, Anthony Merlino, told the Asbury Park Press that the original ordinance was introduced after the council received complaints of houses advertised on Airbnb as daily rentals.
