Re: "Interesting" Owners: Ain't that the truth! We are living in a dorm/hostel/notellmotel/illegalhotel situation and paying top dollar for the privilege! Also, when it comes to the "Accounting" Department, I think the Crazy Gang are running it. They couldn't run a beer fest in a brewery they are so incompetent!
Re: Why are short-term renters targets for A.G.?
Sorry, but I did NOT sign up to live in a TRANSIENT HOTEL when I signed the lease for my APARTMENT. Signing that lease entitles me to a reasonable expectation of living in a secure building. Living in a building where people are renting out their apartments to UNKNOWN INDIVIDUALS for profit does not meet that standard of a reasonable expectation of security. OCCASIONALLY loaning/renting your apartment to a friend or relative – people you actually KNOW – is one thing, but making money by inviting STRANGERS into your home, which, since we inhabit the same building, is also MY home, is completely different and completely unacceptable to me. I am happy the the AG is investigating this problem and upholding the law against these kinds of rentals.
