There's a growing trend in some of our local communities that has some city leaders concerned: Short-term vacation rentals.

An ordinance has been proposed that would ban homeowners from renting their property for fewer than 31 days. It's a common practice in the valley and all you have to do is log on to craigslist to find dozens of listings.

Problem is, those short

term rentals are attracting large party crowds, and illegal activity like drug use and prostitution.

 "They're nuisances that disrupt the neighborhoods," Las Vegas City Council member Steve Wolfson said. These people that don't live in the neighborhoods leave a lot of trash, beer bottles, wild loud parties in a residential area."

While some neighbors have complained about the vacation rentals, others say banning them would be a violation of homeowner's rights.
