The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a township prohibiting Airbnb-style rentals in its residential sections, interpreting the municipality's zoning ordinance to bar “transient” lodging.
In doing so, the justices reversed a Commonwealth Court ruling that had found the ordinance to be ambiguous and open to interpretation.
The Hamilton Township Zoning Board had appealed the Commonwealth Court's June 21 ruling in Slice of Life v. Hamilton Township Zoning Hearing Board that property owner Val Kleyman did not violate residential zoning codes in the Monroe County municipality by operating a short-term rental.
