Ohio court upholds Airbnb zoning ban in 140-home neighbourhood after dispute

An Ohio appeals court upheld a local zoning ban on short-term rentals, ruling against homeowner Michael A. Clevenger. The Fifth District Court of Appeals found that renting rooms to paying guests in a single-family zone constitutes an unapproved business, even if the owner sometimes lives there. Neighbors had complained about noise, parking, and safety. Clevenger can still appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, but experts consider it unlikely to succeed.
