In February, 29-year-old Layton Jones was sentenced to a few days in jail after repeatedly ignoring orders to shut down his illegal Airbnb.
The following month, several judges issued contempt-of-court violations against the Metro Codes Department. The action was in response to dozens of lawsuits filed by short-term rental hosts because their permits were rescinded after Codes officials said they issued them by mistake. Violation notices were sent to plaintiffs after the legal complaints were filed, prompting the contempt-of-court violations.
