What is the association doing for me?
The Michigan STRA is the unified voice representing responsible STRs to our policymakers and broader community. Our volunteer leadership, together with our partners, keep a close watch on what’s happening around the state and throughout the industry to keep you up-to-date on everything you need to know, advocate for you, and help you best advocate for yourself.
Where do my dollars go?
Membership dues cover the things volunteer hours can’t. A portion of them cover our operating expenses, such as website maintenance, accounting, and software, and the remainder go toward specialized services, such as PR, lobbying, and legal support.
The Michigan STRA is proudly part of the Rent Responsibly Network!
The Rent Responsibly Network is a nationwide network of organizations like ours and a global community of STR hosts and advocates. Our private MiSTRA member portal is a part of the network, which not only gets you access to all of your MiSTRA benefits, but also gives you the ability to connect with other STR groups, operators, and vendors across the country!
Everything You Need
Professionalize
Whether you’re new to hosting or having been managing STRs for years, there’s always something new to learn! We will bring you the latest in best practices, technology, and solutions to our everyday challenges.
Narrative Building
No matter how rare, party houses and incidents at STRs grab headlines. One of our most important efforts is building a more accurate picture of all the good STRs do for our community. We work hard to change the narrative around private accommodations by educating our peers and spotlighting the wonderful people behind STRs through traditional media, new media and digital strategies, and in-person connections.
Support Advocacy
Advocacy is not something done only when something’s under consideration at City Hall. Advocacy is a year-round team sport.
Network and Connect
It’s hard to connect with others in the STR industry. As a member, you’ll have lots of opportunities to connect with others online, in virtual events, and in person to share ideas, ask questions, solve mutual challenges, and create partnerships.
Stay up to Date
Staying informed on everything happening in Michigan is hard to do. That’s why our volunteer board and partners work hard at keeping a pulse on news and regulations and making sure you stay in the know. Our members will get the most detailed information available, plus insight on how you can take effective action.
