You are entitled to NOTHING -- House of Cards
維州sb1578 和SB1579.
第一，你出租你的一個房間需要所有你的鄰居的書麵同意
Step 1: You must track down all owners of all adjacent properties and notify them, in writing, that you are thinking of renting out a bedroom or home. Yes, your mere intent must be reported in writing to each of them. You might be saying to yourself, “But this is my home, and it isn’t anyone’s business if I choose to be a host!” Too bad.
Let’s look at the bill text:
If the short-term rental of residential dwelling units, or space within a residential dwelling unit, is authorized by a locality, the locality shall require:
That the operator provide written notice to all landowners with property adjacent to the residential dwelling unit of the intent to offer the residential dwelling unit for short-term rental.
The bill summary self-righteously claims the legislation is about “affirming local control” but instead the bill bluntly dictates to localities exactly what they “shall require” and it isn’t pretty.
你出租你的一個房間需要所有你的鄰居的書麵同意。你會同意你的鄰居分租嗎？你的鄰居會同意分租嗎？你以為你的鄰居都是聖人嗎？看看跟在我的帖子後麵回帖的一幫烏龜王八蛋：http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/myhouse/5949886.html
在一個平均5年換一次工作，7年一次衰退的美國，你在付不起銀行貸款的情況下，你竟然無法分租你的一個房間！
這還沒完，還有更多：
第二，需要政府許可：
The bill requires:
That the operator request and obtain permission of the locality to offer a residential dwelling unit for short-term rental.
憑什麽？為什麽？我整個房子出租尚且不需要政府許可，憑什麽短租一個房間需要許可？難道美國不是保護人民財產權的國家嗎？
第三，需要為你的一個房間付最少50萬商業保險
The bill requires:
That the operator offering a residential dwelling unit for short-term rental maintain a minimum of $500,000 in commercial premises liability insurance that covers all renters, third parties, and, for purposes of any damage that might be caused by a renter, persons and property immediately adjacent to the residential dwelling unit.
第四，恭喜你，你短租一個房間現在要用管地產經紀人的法規管理了。
Step 4: Determine if your hosting platforms have gotten into compliance with all state laws governing real estate brokers.
The bill states:
If a hosting platform facilitates the short-term rental of residential dwelling units in the locality, or collects payments for such transactions, such hosting platform shall comply with all applicable laws of the Commonwealth related to real estate brokers and the offering of property for rent in the Commonwealth.
這還沒完，還有，
第五，現在政府說你可以租，你才可以租：
The bill is written in such a way that short term rentals could, by default, be prohibited statewide except in localities that have taken action to expressly authorize them. This brings us to the $10,000 question. Let’s look at the bill again:
If a locality prohibits the short-term rental of residential dwelling units, any person or entity, including a hosting platform, that advertises or promotes such a rental in the locality shall be subject to a $10,000 fine for each violation, payable to the locality.
So the bill uses the word “If” both ways:
-“If” short term rentals are “authorized” by a locality, then you can apply for permission from the government to be a host and plod through the steps outlined above.
-“If” short term rentals are “prohibited” by a locality, then you will pay a $10,000 fine if you dare list your rental.
But what if your locality has neither expressly authorized nor expressly prohibited short term rentals? If the default position of the law is that the activity is prohibited, then your listing would trigger the $10,000 fine.
你什麽時候給了你的當地政府這種在你自己的產業上要政府剝奪你自由的權利的？他們一旦得到你的授權，你以為他們會停在短租行業？不會限製你的長租行為？你現在不行動，是你把你的權力交給政府的。將來不要怨別人。
再說一遍，在一個平均5年換一次工作，7年一次衰退的美國，你在付不起銀行貸款的情況下，你竟然無法分租你的一個房間！這發生在托馬斯傑斐遜家鄉，一個聲稱生命，自由，和追求幸福是天賦人權的地方。
行動起來呀，維州房主們。我們華裔人人都會買房，這項法案直接傷害到我們的切身利益。
既然知道了就得抗爭。到州長桌上都可以否決。選出下界議員還可以推翻。這種枷鎖絕不能要。
維州政客正在全麵扼殺房屋分享行業。不願意給自己脖子上套枷鎖的維州居民請行動起來。 給政客發email:

給他們打電話。現在在House Appropriations committee 審議， 給每一個成員打電話：
