What happened

Local officials in Gulf Shores are reviewing policies related to Airbnb. In Orange Beach, vacation rental company owners plan to appeal to the City Council regarding new Airbnb rules taking effect November 20. Owners argue that the changes, which remove requirements for guest ID, signed rental agreements, or guest contact information, give the online rental company an unfair advantage.
