Short term rental in apartment building

Alex Petrov

Hello,

I have a 10-unit apartment building in Washington, DC, currently with long-term tenants.

I am considering converting the whole building to a short-term rental business model overtime in the next 2-3 years. By short-term rental business model, I mean no on-site staff, no food offerings, no daily housekeeping, and listed on the common short-term rental platforms. 
The building has a basic business license for a Bed and Breakfast. Because of the type of license, the building is not a rent-controlled building. 
Will the Bed and Breakfast license allow me to run the whole building with the short-term rental business model or this may be seen by the regulators as an avoidance of the short-term regulations and create issues?


I will appreciate any comments!

Thank you!
