GREEN BAY – Are you renting out your house or plan on parking cars for the NFL Draft?
“Do things the correct way” is the message Michael Friedman from Simple Life Hospitality — a property management business — recently conveyed while talking with WGBW’s Maino and the Mayor.
“We recently sat in a meeting where they shared that parking on lawns will be available. You do have to register. NFL has an app called ‘NFL OnePass’ and it’s an app, and you have to register your property that you’re going park cars on your lawn,” Friedman said, adding that renting out your house and parking cars on your lawn are two separate things with different requirements.
“People are getting cited already for listing their homes on the Airbnb site. They’re not getting fined yet; they’re getting their initial warning letter from the city of Green Bay stating that your home is listed and it does not have the proper permitting,” he explained.
“So my point in all of this is if people think they’re going to get away with trying to do this and skate by not having the proper licensing and permitting and they’re not going to get caught, I will tell everyone don’t do it.
“I mean, you know you’re going to get caught and you’re going to get busted, and then ultimately you’re going to get fined and it is going to be significant. So my point in all of this, if you’re going to do it, do it right.
“We’d prefer it to be us, but hire a company that does professional management, who knows what they’re doing and knows how to get the proper permitting done; because otherwise, you are going to end up in a lot of hot water.
“I mean, there are rules and regulations of what you can and cannot do.”
Friedman said that while there is not a lot of information out there, the NFL will soon turn its focus to the April 24-26 event in Green Bay and more information will be released on the NFL OnePass app.
“I think as a Draft gets closer, the one thing we took away from the meeting we were at was the NFL, right now, is not focused on the Draft. They’re focused on the playoffs; then they’re going to be focused on the Super Bowl.
“And I think once the Super Bowl is over in early February, that’s where the hardcore push is going to be.”
The NFL OnePass app can be downloaded in the App Store or on Google Play.
Adults over 18 are required to register for the 2024 NFL draft through the app or at nfl.com/draftaccess,
