Save Vacation Rentals from Miami-Dade Attack

Enough is Enough...
The City of Miami has decided to close miami back again and kept restaurants and gyms open but decided to place back a ban on vacation rentals. However, hotels may remain open. For condo hotel owners, this means that the property owner must move all of their bookings under 30 days into the unit next door that is managed by the hotel and go broke while enriching the hotels.
Is this action done by the hotel lobbyists?
Yesterday, Sunny Isles Beach enacted emergency Order 10-20 requiring all owners to submit to the city a copy of the rental agreement and all information pertaining to any bookings that an owner receives.
This requirement is only for vacation rentals but not for hotels so even if your unit sits inside a condo-hotel, it applies to you but not to the hotel property.
Isn't this discrimination? Since when did you walk into a hotel or a supermarket, were asked for your ID and information and have your receipt and ID sent to your local government for the items purchased?
We need your support URGENTLY for us to hire the lobbyists and attorneys and receive proper representation as the hotels, restaurants and buildings have representation which allows them to operate within legal limits and with proper care during Covid. The banks are allowed to hound us for mortgage payments, tenants cannot be evicted during Covid yet vacation rental operators cannot accept new bookings under 30 days.
We were shut down for enough time since Miami Covid closing took place and now that Miami reopened we should be allowed to operate as well. Cities in Miami-Dade have followed by starting their own rules in their own interest and twisting what the Miami-Dade restrictions have set forth.
Anything you can give to help us put a voice to the vacation rental community will help and we must do this right away and not wait until they succeed in banning is fully!!
