IF YOU’RE AN ISLANDER, UNAFFECTED TODAY, DO YOU CARE?
YES
• Many of our supporters are previous islanders who moved off for a job, a marriage, or to care for a loved one. But they still return every summer and many hoped to retire on island. Any discriminatory practice against part-time residents presents a threat to their ability to maintain their home.
• If you give or bequeath your home of land to your children and they ever need to move away for a period or time or look to build a home and rent it to pay for it, we do not want to restrict their ability to earn income to support the home.
• If you intend to retire to warmer climes in the winter as part of your retirement plan and rent your Nantucket home when you are away we want to protect your future right to rent.
• If you own a second property on the island or have a cottage on the same property as your permanent residence, your right to rent should not be unduly restricted.
