It’s the end of the Southampton girls weekend.
Tony Southampton has banned short-term home rentals after crabby locals complained that weekend warriors’ all-night “ragers” were keeping them up too late and making the ritzy beachside village unbearable.
The measure — passed 4-1 by the village board of trustees on Aug. 19 — sets a new two-week minimum for home rentals across the ritzy beachside locale, effectively banning weekend trips for anyone who can’t shell out for a hotel or fork over thousands of dollars typically required to hold a house for 14 days.
That means Hamptons trips — which already cost between $900 and $2,000 for a weekend stay — could now cost anything from $10,000 to $15,000 and up for a two-week rental.
“All those girls and bridesmaids weekends are out of luck now,” one local real estate broker told The Post.
But Southampton mayor Bill Manger says it’s short-term renters’ own fault for partying too hard and losing their weekend privileges.
“We have been getting complaints from people in the village that the house next door is having lots of different renters coming in every weekend, and causing a disruption to the peace and harmony,” Manger told The Post, explaining locals have been calling cops with relentless noise complaints “every weekend” for months.
“They came to me as the mayor and asked, ‘Can’t you do something about this?'” Manger said.

Must not be any minorities renting. Otherwise the lawsuits would start in 5,4,3…. Oh wait a min, you saw Obama wants to rent,,,, well ok, it’s official, the rental ban is now illegal.

The very same.
Can’t have any commoners around.
I smell a groupon market for landlords...
I really love those Hampton tomatoes. 🍅. They never really took off as a hand fruit tho.
That's the whole point.
and hurt local business owners
Of course it will. Business owners in tourist areas typically have interests that conflict with those of other permanent residents.
Funny this should come up. I was at a family Thanksgiving my brother-in-law arranged at a swanky rental in Eastport (right next to the Hamptons). I couldn’t believe that my 60-something relatives blasted music into the night at a (chilly) backyard campfire multiple evenings, even after the neighbors complained.
Still trying to figure out who Tony Southampton is, and how he figures into all of this.
We have the same situation at the country place, weekend folks come from town and stay up blasting the radio until 3 am. Not very nice.
Long term rentals to house illegals aliens
Who would want to vacay where the locals have “crabs”?
Yeah, Tony Southhampton made his money by importing olive oil.
😊
That one struck me, as well.
A cousin of Tony Soprano, perhaps!
