Here at Upscale Lakeshore, we are in support of the HB 4722 and are here to support our owners, our guests and our communities. Our vacation rental traditions promotes Pure Michigan as a great vacation destination. This bill helps to clarify and define rights of homeowners to use their property for short-term rentals along with creating reasonable regulations of rental guidelines outside of zoning, supporting local government control and protecting the rights of all property owners.

Short-term rentals helps Michigan homeowners maximize the value of their investment and support the payment of property taxes. All while generating economic activity within the local surrounding businesses. The right to rent is an important aspect of private property ownership.
