Message: I am writing in opposition to limiting Short Term Rentals in Bozeman and challenge
any notions it is bad for Bozeman. I am a professional who moved back (lived here in mod-
eighties) to Bozeman in 2015. My wife n I found both the housing and rental markets incredibly
limited and finally found (through word of mouth) about an MSU professor going on a Fulbright
sabbatical looking to rent out his house. It worked out great for both his family and mine. If you
implement restrictions, will this type of arrangement be unlawful? Does the STR market really
detract from the Bozeman lifestyle such that it warrants Government regulation? Interfering in
personal property owner decisions on how to best use their asset will surely incite litigation. Are
you budgeting for the predictable lawsuits? Please consider your decision carefully. Sincerely,
Dave Nigh
