CONWAY — Attorneys for the owner of several short-term rental properties in Conway filed a new motion last week to argue that STRs don't need to be owner-occupied as the town contends.
The owner, Scott Kudrick, is being sued by the town of Conway, which says short-term rentals are not allowed in residential zones under the town's zoning ordinance.
