Measure T - Legal Fund
Dear Homeowner,
Tahoe Keys Resort along with a group of other local property owners and management companies have been working to save your property owner rights and your ability to vacation rent your home. We are making significant progress to Stop Measure T.
Immediately after the November vote was certified, we hired Andrew Pierce, Pierce and Shearer LLP, as our Attorney. On December 24, 2018, we were successfully granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) blocking the Measure T’s new maximum occupancy limits.
Your home’s maximum occupancy level is now maintained under the old ordinance; 2 people per bedroom plus 4. So a 3 bedroom house’s max occupancy is 10 and a 6 bedroom house’s max occupancy is 16, etc. Measure T would have made those max occupancies 6 and 12 respectively.
Some of you have a home outside of the City of SLT. If Measure T succeeds in SLT, you can be sure it will be coming to other areas including El Dorado County. The elimination of Vacation Home Rentals is on the table for every County and City around the Lake.
Where are we now?
We (and you - although not named) are the plaintiffs. The City of SLT is the defendant. The city reached out to our Attorney stating they would not fight the TRO for the duration of this legal process. We will seek a full injunction on Measure T, a date after summer 2019, sometime in September or possibly later. The elimination of Vacation Homes in Measure T does not go into effect until December 31, 2021 we have some time to work thru this process. Ultimately this will be a lengthy and expensive battle. We estimate the legal fees will be $150-200k. Some of you have donated and we greatly appreciate the financial help! For those who have not - please consider making a donation.
