§ 127.01 PURPOSE.
   It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the health, safety, and welfare of residents and of occupants of short-term rental dwellings in the city. By requiring the registration of all short-term rental dwelling units, it is the city’s intent to ensure that short-term rental housing is safe, sanitary and properly operated and maintained in continued compliance with all applicable regulations to meet basic housing maintenance requirements, to protect the health and safety of visiting tenants and to not become a nuisance to the neighborhood and community. The regulation will protect the residential character of Covington’s residential neighborhoods and preserve the character of the city’s historic districts.
