A federal judge ruled this week that Austin's rules for short-term rentals are unconstitutional.
City officials said at the time that they were trying to crack down on the number of short-term rentals, citing the displacement of families, because it limits housing stock, and the disturbance to neighbors from noise and other issues. Patrick Sutton, the attorney representing the homeowners, said the court's decision this week reinforces that decision. He said the Houston couple bought the Lake Austin property in 2014 with the intent to rent it out when they weren’t using it.
