Wayzata sued over short-term rental ban
Five Wayzata rental owners have filed a lawsuit challenging the city's September ordinance that bans short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo, which is set to take effect next April. The suit argues the city failed to follow required procedures such as holding a public hearing and that the ordinance conflicts with city and state laws; plaintiffs are asking a judge to block enforcement so they can continue operating. The ordinance allows rentals only if they are 30 days or longer.
