Position Statement:
Today's vacation rentals operations are part of a century’s old world-wide tradition of renting out apartments, cottages and homes on a short term basis to leisure and business travelers. They are currently the foundation for billions of dollars of economic activity, even though most vacation rental operations earn no net profits. Due to changing social and economic conditions, and changing travel habits, vacation rental operations are becoming more visible to the communities that host them, especially in the United States.
Communities that host vacation rental homes see the most benefits and the fewest negative impacts from vacation rental operations when rental owners, rental agencies, community members and legislators cooperate, respect each other and work together.
The Oregon Association of Vacation Rental Owners was founded to help rental owners and agencies improve management practices for family vacation rentals, and to encourage collaboration between rental owners, rental agencies, legislative bodies and members of communities that host vacation rentals.
