The Globe received a scoop this morning that a complaint was filed by a Douglas County resident with the Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Advisory Board against billionaire climate investor Tom Steyer, owner of the Glenbrook mansion that the First Family is renting while on a nine-day vacation in Lake Tahoe.
The complaint reportedly cites that Steyer does not have a VHR permit for his $18 million waterfront manse. If found to be in violation, Steyer could be subject to a $20,000 civil penalty per county ordinance.

In 2005, Douglas County enacted measures to control and manage the amount of VHR’s in the region by adopting a permit process and related regulations. VHRs are defined as properties that are rented on a short-term basis of 28 days or less; permits are limited to 600 within county limits.
This morning, The Globe reached out to the VHR board via email and received a reply from the Program Manager/Head of Code Enforcement Ernie Strehlow that states: “Several inquires have been received on this address. We cannot comment further as we are actively investigating any Douglas County Nevada code violations on this rental.”
It looks like the neighbors complained about the rental to the Bidens. Things like that bring down the value of their multi-million dollar properties.
The Bidens may also have been very loud and obnoxious. Then there is the Secret Service looking for a lost Joe at midnight calling his name loudly for hours.
“Here Joey Joey Joey! We have pudding for you! Hide and seek is over”
Tom Steyer may admit he did not charge rent to the Bidens to avoid paying the fine. But then the Bidens will be caught lying to the entire country.
