February 3, 2016 <br />Regarding short term rental ordinance and licensing. <br />Katherine Kitt <br />Property Owner; 3635 Northshore Drive, Orono 55391 <br />I have been a Home -Away vacation rental property owner for three years; i have had wonderful <br />guests stay at this property. I screen all potential guests at the time of their inquiry as to the <br />purpose of their visit, the number of guests that will be at the property, and at this time I <br />explain that this property Is located in a residential neighborhood and the guidelines of <br />reasonable behavior, no noise or disturbances after 9pm that could be heard by a neighbor. <br />This property is not rentable for events, parties, receptions, weddings, etc. <br />After the screening, if this does not seem like an appropriate fit for the property, I send a reply <br />that the property is unavailable. Most of the guests are either single couples, or a family with <br />two children. <br />I also have a rental agreement stating the rules for the property that is signed by the tenant <br />prior to their arrival. <br />I do not have a problem with adding additional rules of conduct and stronger language to the <br />rental agreement if necessary, I do have a significant problem with being told what I can and <br />cannot do responsibly with my own property that i own and pay taxes on. <br />Sincerely, <br />Katherine Kit <br />
