This summer, vacationing in South Lake Tahoe may look a little different, as a new ordinance will impose stricter regulations on vacation home rentals (VHR).

The South Lake Tahoe City Council on June 17 approved the ordinance, which includes a 150-foot buffer between single-family VHR properties outside of the core tourist area to ease crowds in neighborhoods where residents live year-round.
