In order to ensure motels and hotels being used as long term housing were kept decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable, the City of South Lake Tahoe has created a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) ordinance. At Tuesday's City Council meeting, the first reading received unanimous approval and support.
The ordinance gives the lodging community guidelines to follow if renting out units more than 30 days.
Safe and habitable units will be made available within the next twelve months once the design and maintenance standards are approved at the next council meeting June 16.
