The Issue

Our private community has been a haven of peace and solidarity, a place where we cherished not only our homes but our neighbors as well. However, the rise of Airbnb has disrupted our way of life, transforming our serene neighborhood into a revolving door of strangers. We've seen noise levels skyrocket, and the increase in traffic has made our serene streets bustling and unsafe. Importantly, our privacy no longer feels protected, and our hard-earned investments seem compromised.

We've all chosen to be part of a private community, paying association dues to ensure that we enjoy our rights in a tranquil environment. Nevertheless, Airbnb rentals have become more of a hotel business than a community-enhancing choice, altering the fabric of our neighborhood. This change has not only led to logistical challenges; it's also sowing discord among us, turning a once united community into a fractured one.

Our township currently lacks the sufficient protocols to effectively govern the influx of transient guests, leaving our community vulnerable. The absence of adequate regulation means our rights to enjoy our properties as intended come under threat. As residents who deeply care about the well-being of our families and the safety of our surroundings, it's crucial for us to take actionable steps to protect our investment and restore our community's harmony.

We are calling for a ban on Airbnb operations within our private residential communities, ensuring that our rights to privacy and tranquility are respected. We urge local officials to implement stringent measures that preserve the sanctity and unity of communities like ours. Our investment in our homes should not equate to an investment in a commercial enterprise benefiting outsiders.

To restore the peace and joy that once defined our community and safeguard our collective rights, we need your support. Sign this petition to demand decisive action against Airbnb operations that compromise our homes and community spirit. Together, we can protect the essence of our neighborhoods and ensure our private spaces remain private.
