The Moodys' Oxon Hill Airbnb basement was cited as an illegal second dwelling unit because of a built-in cooktop. The case shows the county now inspects short-term rental interiors more closely than in past years, catching setups previously licensed without scrutiny.

A state bill would stop local governments from banning renters from running short-term rentals. The committee opposed it unanimously because Prince George's already has a detailed local licensing and enforcement framework it doesn't want preempted.
