Clark County is concerned about short-term rentals for numerous reasons:
- Short-term rentals disrupt the quality of life in residential neighborhoods. The renters of short-term rentals have no stake in the neighborhood; thus, they disrupt the peaceful environment of residential neighborhoods. Neighborhoods where short-term rentals are found deal with more traffic, loud music during the evening hours, and trash/rubbish found at the curb.
- As short-term rentals are illegal in unincorporated Clark County, the residential properties that are being used for short-term rental properties have not been regulated by the Clark County Building & Fire Prevention department to ensure that the residential property is in compliance with the fire and safety codes for transient use.
- Short-term rentals do not adhere to the health and human safety standards that a hotel or motel would follow. Short-term rentals may not be following the standards set by the Southern Nevada Health District to control the spread of communicable disease and promote safety and sanitary conditions.
- Clark County is concerned about the public safety of guests in short-term rentals. Properties used for short-term rentals are not equipped with the same security that is often found in hotels and motels.
- Short-term rentals are operating in unincorporated Clark County without paying taxes that ultimately benefit the entire community. Without paying taxes, the short-term rental business is ultimately hurting the whole community.
- Short-term rentals artificially inflate rental costs. Property owners have found ways to make a profit by converting long-term living spaces into the short-term rentals. Thus, there are fewer homes on the market for those wishing to rent long-term.
