MiSTRA Updates

Happy Holidays from MiSTRA!

As 2024 winds down, the Michigan Short-Term Rental Association (MiSTRA) sends heartfelt holiday wishes to you and your family. We appreciate the passion and commitment of our members—both longstanding allies and new friends in our advocacy. While many of us remain attentive to the closing days of this legislative session, hopeful that the current short-term rental bill will not advance, we still want to pause and express our gratitude. 

Your support energizes our mission to foster fair and reasonable short-term rental practices that benefit all. Here’s to a peaceful, prosperous holiday season, filled with joy and unity.
