Dallas planning to regulate short-term rentals
Lisa Sievers Party houses are rare and the STR market generates revenue and millions in business DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer taffet@dallasvoice.com A small fashion shoot and little cooking shows have been filmed at a short-term rental house in Oak Lawn owned by Jamie Schield, a former executive director of Resource Center.
He said some of his regular customers are buyers who’ve come to Dallas to attend a market and want a safe place to park a small U-Haul.
Prospective UT Southwestern medical students often rent Schield’s house to get a taste of what life’s like in the neighborhood.
And during opera season, singers and those auditioning for the Dallas Opera stay at his quaint rental. “You don’t want an opera singer staying in the hotel room next to yours, do you?” Schield asked.
