Medium term rentals - Airbnb or FF? Landlord protections?

[Pat Saperstein]

We have just converted our garage to a furnished legal ADU and I have someone who wants to rent it for 2-3 months. I already rent out a 2 bedroom duplex and have had very good longterm tenants for two or three years at a time. For medium term rentals, is there anything to include in the lease that could help protect me from people trying to stay longer than their term? Are there more protections on Airbnb that would make it worth it despite the cut they take? As I understand it, Furnished Finder is just a listings platform and does not assist with leases or anything else, correct? Thanks for all your help!
