Renting Fully Furnished Rooms by Month

What regulations would apply to such as operation in Houston, TX. Its not your typical rooming house, every room has mini-fridge, LED-smart TV, utilities are included and all the safety and security measure one can imagine. Rented mostly to professionals or semi-professionals who have not yet made more long term housing arrangements. Its not a B&B either, they usually have shorter stays and food service. We have all the facilities but no food service. The tenants are fully screened, do not have any disabilities (physical or otherwise) or infirmities requiring special care or supervision. It is not a halfway house either because typically they not any criminal history. Its not senior home either they are all under 65. There are many homes like this all over the city providing yet another option for the public. 

How should such an operation be registered and or licensed under the city of Houston bylaws. The current city bylaws seem to have no slot for this segment of housing market. Any guidance shall be greatly appreciated.
