Do I need a business license for a one-off 2 month stay?

Lukas Ku
Posted

I own and live in a single family home in Spokane. I'll be traveling for 2 months and I posted my place on Airbnb to help with traveling costs while I'm gone. 1 person booked the place for the entire 2 months. There seems to be City guidance on STRs (less than 30 days by their definition) , but not much guidance on "long term rentals" which I guess is what this qualifies as. The information I do find is vague and is asking for an inspection by Spokane Housing Authority and maybe requires a business license? There was also an article saying that most Airbnbs in Spokane don't follow this. My question is, what would you do for this one-off 2 month lease? Doesn't Airbnb cover a lot of these bases for you?
