    Denver is doing a poor job of tracking and enforcing its new short-term rental regulations, the city auditor says, with some applicants receiving licenses they shouldn’t have, putting the city at risk for a lawsuit.

    The findings, released Thursday, come a year after the Denver City Council passed regulations for short-term rentals allowing the rental of a primary residence for 30 days or less and requiring hosts to collect the 10.75 percent lodger’s tax from guests. The tax has generated nearly $2 million since January — a figure that’s expected to rise.

    On Tuesday night, the City Council will have a chance to tackle the question of whether or not Boulder should install harsher occupancy limits on groups staying in Airbnb and other short-term rental situations.

    In Boulder, the occupancy limit for non-related people is three or four, depending on zoning, per dwelling unit. This applies to vacation rentals, too.

    But large groups can, and do, get away with skirting the limit.

    Schools are back in session, but that does not mean vacation season is over.

    For people whose lives are not tied to the school year, such as retirees and empty-nesters, fall is a great time to travel and see the sights.

    That means short-term rentals in Fort Collins found on Airbnb, VRBO and other online sites can expect to keep seeing business coming their way.

    Think about all the people from out of state who would enjoy the fall colors in Rocky Mountain National Park. They’ll need places to stay.
