    I had a friend who had a mother in law unit they wanted to rent out occasionally, used air b&b, the county learned of it, I’m not sure how exactly it went down, if they had to pay the fines or just agree to shut it down (fines were "required upgrades and penalties"over hundred thousand dollars, because their septic system wasn’t large enough for the extra people, they were only 3 at the time) but they ended up selling the place, and the whole things is now a long term rental.

    It bummed me out because I hate air b&b and applaud legislation that inhibits people abuse of it, but I feel it does have uses when the system isn’t abused. We can’t have nice things because llc’s are soulless.
