It's an issue that has been a hot topic across Tampa Bay in recent weeks: short-term rentals. For many areas, each city, town, and county has its own local ordinances policing what is and isn't allowed. Now, as local officials wait to see if Governor Ron DeSantis signs SB 280 into law, local governments are trying to sort out how to comply with potentially new state law while properly enforcing quality-of-life standards. In Harborview, there are several neighbors who have issues with short-term renters. One neighbor, Hillary Simpson, wants to know why the county has ordinances in place to restrict short-term rentals if they're not being enforced. Simpson said she is on the phone with code enforcement nearly daily and just wants to be able to go 24 hours without short-term renters disturbing her family. "Noise is definitely the one that is the most disruptive," Simpson said. Simpson said her neighbors often wake up her toddlers in the middle of the night. The rental unit's backyard is adjacent to hers. She said when parties go on, the noise is unavoidable. "You know, we're coaxing our children back to sleep, and then we're up for several hours after that," she shared. Simpson shared a video that can be viewed at the top of this article. It shows a neighbor entering her property just before her husband arrives home. Simpson said this is the short-term rental that has caused repeated problems in her neighborhood.
