Creates a private civil cause of action allowing property owners, lessees, nonprofit homeowner/condo/neighborhood associations, and nonprofit hotel/lodging trade associations within 300 feet of an unlicensed or zoning-violating short-term rental to sue the operator

Defines short-term rentals as dwelling units rented for less than 30 consecutive days, excluding hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and other properties explicitly regulated by other laws or exempted by local ordinance

Requires plaintiffs to provide written notice to both the defendant and local code enforcement/zoning department and wait 60 days for local government action before filing suit

Permits courts to award injunctive relief, declaratory relief, protective orders, and reasonable attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party

Explicitly prohibits civil actions against short-term rental platforms (like Airbnb or VRBO) under this law, limiting liability to the person directly providing the rental
