Hawaii Travel Update: Governor Renews Threat To Ban Short-Term Vacation Rentals On Maui, Sets March 1 Deadline
Facing a housing crisis, Hawaii Governor Josh Green once again threatened to shut down all short-term vacation rentals in West Maui if the State's needs were not met.
Word is that VRBO owners have been notified they WILL make their rentals available to displaced residents or face sanctions (such as raised taxes). They will be paid for their rental, but will have no say in rentors or length of rental.
