📰 News we're reading

• Kane County mulling regulations on short-term home rentals in unincorporated areas (chicagotribune.com) — Skokie is cited as one of several Illinois communities weighing or adopting rules on short-term home rentals, as Kane County moves a detailed licensing and enforcement ordinance toward a final board vote. The measure would cap guests, limit rental days, require inspections and neighbor notification, and empower the sheriff to enforce noise and trespassing rules, reflecting growing regional concern over party houses and neighborhood disruption.
