Leath said that the city has separate licenses for short-term and long-term rentals. Perhaps Boruff

Like some homes on Ocean Boulevard where the city entered a settlement some months ago to stop short-term rentals, the 78th Avenue property is zoned R-10, which prohibits rentals for less than one month.
The city tried to get an injunction against the Ocean Boulevard property owners in 2011, but when that failed, agreed to let them continue short-term rentals until September 2014. When the city learned of the situation on 78th Avenue, it decided budget padua accommodation to give that owner the same deal, even though he asked in a February letter that he be allowed short-term rentals through this summer because he already had contracts to do so.
The city s R-10 zoning is the highest residential zoning and was put in place to maintain the area s character as one of full-time residences. While long-term rentals may not detract budget padua accommodation from that character, a series of short term rentals could.
City Councilman Wayne Gray said that council members weren t aware that Brian Boruff, owner of the 78th Avenue property, wrote the city in February asking to be allowed to continue short-term rentals through this September. But he said it likely wouldn t have made a difference in the council s decision to allow him the same deal as the Ocean Boulevard property owners.
Boruff had contacted the same attorney as represented at least some of those on Ocean Boulevard, and Gray said allowing him the same deal was preferable budget padua accommodation to filing a lawsuit the city couldn t be sure it would win.
Myrtle Beach at first sought an injunction to stop the Ocean Boulevard short-term rentals, but withdrew from the fight when the judge at the hearing remarked that he thought that beach property was meant to be rented, budget padua accommodation Gray said.
The city may never have known of the situation on 78th Avenue budget padua accommodation North if not for Harry and Carolyn Summer, who live next door to the house that has been rented short-term. Summer told the city of it last September budget padua accommodation and again in May.
Leath said that the city has separate licenses for short-term and long-term rentals. Perhaps Boruff had gotten the wrong license, he said, or a city employee had not explained the limitations of the long-term licenses.
He said the city checks records and websites to make sure renters are complying budget padua accommodation with the rules of each zoning district. But reports of transgressions from neighbors could be the best way to find out about owners trying to skirt the law, Leath said.
