On June 2, 2015, the South Lake Tahoe City Council approved the first reading of a Single Room Occupancy ordinance to ensure motels and hotels being used as long term housing were kept decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable.
While the ordinance is set to be approved at the June 16 Council meeting, a small group of affected motel owners have made a plan to protest and ask for an extension so their complaints can be heard.
