Kenner, LA Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

Unified Development Code § 12.16(g) makes the lodging accommodation license subject to suspension or revocation for good cause shown at a hearing before the lodging accommodation review committee or the council, held within 120 days of the documented occurrence. Among the listed grounds: three or more felony drug-related independent incidents resulting in arrests on the short-term rental property by a guest within a 90-day period trigger review under § 12.16(g)(4), and three or more prostitution-related independent arrests on the property within the same 90-day window trigger review under § 12.16(g)(5).

Separately, § 12.16(g)(6) counts five or more verified calls for service within a 30-day period concerning illegal felony drug activity, prostitution, or violent felony crimes on the property. All three strike counts carry the same carve-out: an incident does not count against the operator if the arrest or call resulted from the short-term rental management itself notifying or directly cooperating with law enforcement. The Kenner Police Department must give the operator or designee a copy of the initial report for any qualifying arrest or verified call within 30 days under § 12.16(g)(7), so the operator has notice of each strike as it accrues toward the suspension or revocation thresholds.
