I am signing this petition because I am either a visitor to Oahu who prefers staying in alternative lodging, the owner or an employee of a small business on Oahu that benefits from visitors staying at alternative lodging, or I am a resident who is simply in support of the sharing economy and the alternative lodging industry.
In 2015, two Resolutions (15-072 and 15-086) were introduced in the Honolulu City Council, relating to permits for Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs) and Transient Vacation Rentals (TVUs) on Oahu, also known as alternative lodging. Those resolutions have been held in committee since 2015. I am asking the Honolulu City Council to act on those resolutions and authorize new alternative lodging permits on Oahu, with reasonable regulations and standards.

The feedback I have received highlights a deep need for clear and fair regulation that accounts for the diverse ways people experience our island. While the process at the council level remains slow, the variety of perspectives shared here confirms that this is a conversation that can no longer be avoided.
June 26, 2016
Reaching this current level of support demonstrates a genuine desire for sensible updates to our local lodging policies. It is encouraging to see so many people recognize that a balanced approach to the sharing economy benefits everyone on Oahu.

I run a small cleaning service and when these rentals get shut down my business suffers. People need these jobs.
Just legalize it already. Regulation is better than this gray area nonsense. Let people do what they want with their own property!
Common sense rules are all we are asking for. Enough with the stalling.
Living here is expensive enough as it is. Renting out spare space helps locals pay the mortgage. Why is the council fighting this so hard?
Total joke that these permits are stuck in limbo forever. We need more options for visitors on the island.

My family prefers b&bs over big resorts. We like the local vibe and want to support small business owners not massive corporate hotels.
