TALLAHASSEE — After an alliance of strange bedfellows urged Gov. Ron DeSantis to veto a bill preempting local governments from regulating Airbnbs and other vacation rentals, he quietly did just that on Thursday evening.
But the fight is far from over.
Cities and counties campaigned against the bill. So did vacation rental companies like Airbnb and management companies like Vtrips, but for opposite reasons.
Municipalities opposed the legislation because they were losing control. The companies opposed it because they didn’t get enough control, said Jack Cory, a lobbyist for the city of Jacksonville Beach.
