"I do think that the good neighbor document can only help," said Delmar.Ā 

"It will get landlords and their short term tenants on the same page and let people know what's expected of them in this area to be a good neighbor."

Part of being a good neighbor in historic Milton means being mindful of noise, something Delmar says hasn't been a problem at her rental. She shared this at Tuesday's meeting.

"I explained who's been coming into my short term rental, which is bird watchers and relatives of people who live in Milton and people who are going to the theatre, but mostly quiet, quiet people," Delmar shared.Ā
