Injunction Against Hollywood Park, Texas Short-Term Rental Ban
On December 22, 2023, my clients — homeowners in Hollywood Park, Texas, a small city in the San Antonio metro area — got a preliminary injunction in federal court barring the town from enforcing a ban on short-term rentals. My clients had purchased and improved homes based on the lack of any restrictions, intending to both live in the homes and rent them out at other times. The federal court, determining that the trend in the law is to protect the rights of owners who have historical leasing rights, enjoined enforcement of the town's new ban while the case proceeds to trial.
