short-term rentals

South Bend Common Council member Heidi Beidinger says residents in her eastside district are fed up with unruly parties, trash and parking problems from short-term rentals.

A study earlier this year found South Bend, with the lowest home prices, to be the nation's best college town for investing in short-term-rentals.

St. Joseph commissioners unanimously rejected a plan to convert most units in a downtown apartment building into short-term rentals, citing concerns about neighborhood impact.

St. Joseph County Police have seen a trend of troublesome parties at short-term rentals. They urge property owners to be wary of local people renting their homes for just one night.
