The city council vote that can zero out your listing income — before it happens, not after

AirDNA and Rabbu — the two market-data tools most STR hosts and investors already pay $20–100+/mo for — both admit their own regulation coverage is thin: a static “regulatory risk score” or a simple friendly/unfriendly label, neither one tracking a pending bill before it passes. Hosts already paying for market data still get blindsided by the one risk that can end their income overnight.

STR Regulation Radar reads state legislative records every week, ranks each bill by how close it is to actually mattering — introduced, hearing scheduled, passed a chamber, signed — and surfaces the exact hearing date when one exists, so you know your comment window before it closes.

What a digest entry looks like

Illustrative example, not a real bill — this shows the format and urgency ranking a real weekly digest will use once the legislative data feed is connected.

[VOTE COMING] State bill — county-wide short-term-rental permit cap

Hearing scheduled in committee — comment window is open now

What this means for you: if you operate in the affected county, this is the window to submit public comment or adjust your permit application before the cap takes effect — not after the vote.

[MOVING] State bill — statewide preemption of local occupancy limits

Passed one chamber, transmitted to the other

What this means for you: a preemption bill this far along can flip your local rules within weeks of final passage — worth tracking through to signature, not just noting once.

Who this is for

STR hosts and small operators who already pay for AirDNA or Rabbu but still get blindsided by local rule changes
Investors managing multiple STR units across several states who can't manually check 50 legislatures every week
Property managers who need to flag a client's exposure before a vote, not explain a loss after one
