A bill preempting local governments in Florida from regulating Airbnbs and other vacation rentals has been vetoed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Cities and counties campaigned against the bill—alongside short-stay platform Airbnb and management companies like VTrips, who also opposed the bill, but for completely different reasons.
Municipalities opposed the bill because, according to the restrictions in the legislation, they were losing control. Short-stay rental platforms opposed the measure because they weren't getting enough control, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
