The residents of Barlow and Exchange are petitioning for ZRS Management to immediately stop accepting short term rentals.

We want a clean, safe place to live. The presence of short term rentals where live diminishes the safety and cleanliness of our homes.

The residents of Barlow and Exchange pay a premium to live in a building with gates and passkeys, with cleaning and maintenance staff. For the most part, residents tend to take care of the place they live. We tend to get to know our neighbors and, through interactions over time, feel safer.

Short term renters from AirBNB and VRBO do not take care of the common areas of our buildings. They leave trash in hallways and sidewalks. They damage property that takes time to fix and looks bad until maintenance can get to it. We have no idea who these people are and there's no way to feel safe when there's a constant flow of strangers moving in and out of our buildings.

Short term renters make more noise, misuse gym equipment, use the pool after hours, and leave the meeting spaces on the first floor in shambles.

Residents have submitted dozens of private requests to have AirBNB and VRBO ended at Barlow and Exchange, but management continues to move the promised end date. It was the summer. Then it was August. Then it was November. Now it's some time in 2023.

We find this unacceptable and want it to end.
