Houses designated for pot and partying, or a source of extra income for homeowners: Short-term rentals may soon be acknowledged and regulated in Englewood, and the city is seeking ways to keep them from going awry. “Let’s ensure that neighborhoods are still about the people who live in them and not about full-time shortterm rentals,” said Abe Barge, city planner with the City of Denver, at a forum at the Englewood Civic Center. Barge and other officials in the Denver metro area came to shed light on the rentals as Englewood gears up to consider a policy governing them. They involve the renting out of a housing unit for a short amount of time, such as a vacation. Websites like Airbnb and VRBO facilitate them. Denver passed rules allowing shortterm rentals in 2016, although illegal ones had been conducted before then, Barge said at the April 2 forum. “Leading up to June 2016 adoption of the system, it was not without controversy,” Barge said. “There were reasons there were hundreds of people at these meetings.” SEE RENTAL, P5
