Legalities of renting longer than 29 days on VRBO, Airbnb, etc.

[Kirsten Hunt]

Hello, We are fairly new to STR and have hosted the normal weekends, weeks, etc. We now have a request for 3-6 months, which sounds like a great deal. Are there any added legalities with renting "long term" from a STR platform? Do the renters have any extra rights now? Any issues with squatting and not paying, etc? We are in a suburb of Dallas, TX. Thanks for any advice!
