Maui Council voted to pass Bill 9 which aims to phase out some Short Term Vacation Rentals on Maui.

To clear the air, there is a lot of misconception and confusion about this bill passing and what it entails (assuming it holds up in court, the lawsuits are coming).

Bill 9 is set to slowly start phasing out some short term vacation rentals in condo complexes currently in apartment zoned complexes.

-As passed, the phase out dates would be Jan. 1, 2029, for West Maui (Lahaina, Kaanapali, Napili, Kapalua)

-Jan. 1, 2031, for the rest of Maui County (mostly Kihei and Wailea).

It DOES have the possibility of eliminating short term vacation rentals in APARTMENT ZONED complexes but the phase out is 3 and 5 years away so you're current vacation plans are safe!
