During Tuesday’s work session, city officials tried to make up for lost time by ensuring new restrictions for R-1 (single-family residential) rentals, including a more thorough rental application, would finally be incorporated eight months after they were first introduced.
Improvements to the application include asking homeowners to list the number of bedrooms a unit has, where the property is being advertised, and its advertised total occupancy.
“All these changes were brought by Realtors as a first step to fix a big issue. We’re at the beginning of the season and we have a really small window to fix this,” said Councilman Tony DeLuca.

There is always a need to stiffen Salisbury's rental houses as the houses in the city are supposed to be 3-4 renters depending on zoning but it is all overlooked city inspectors should be able to pick up on the fact that 5-6 cars are at those locations every evening and every day, rental policies here are a joke. Every law on the books is ignored and calls are ignored. A slum lord's dream downtown Salisbury and surrounding communities.
