Problem Airbnb / short-term rental parties

Jonesboro

Summary

Residents from two neighborhoods described chaos at short-term rental properties — a May 16 party with 100 cars, broken glass, and police calls until after 5 a.m. The city attorney pointed to existing privilege-license revocation rules (Sections 42-146 to 42-150) and said the city is researching stronger enforcement options.
