ANN ARBOR – The city of Ann Arbor is seeking public input as it shapes its policy around short-term rental properties.

Known for its vibrant downtown, robust event scene and beautiful parks -- and we can't forget the University of Michigan -- Ann Arbor is a major tourist draw, and short-term rentals booked through Airbnb and VRBO are popular alternatives to hotels.
