In addition to the penalties provided herein, the village shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for the village's costs and expenses from a short-term rental owner, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the village to abate a short-term rental operating as a public nuisance.
Glenwood Ch. 26 Art. XI § 26-818 declares that permitting any short-term rental within the village constitutes a public nuisance threatening public safety, health, welfare, and morals. Any short-term rental operating in violation of the chapter may be shut down through all available legal remedies, including injunctive relief. Beyond other penalties set out in the article, the village is also authorized to recover its costs — including reasonable attorney fees — from the short-term rental owner when it takes action to abate the nuisance.
