You know what short term rentals don’t have? EVICTIONS

[Luke Carl]

All this talk about evictions being taken away by the city of Seattle and even my own LTRs in a very landlord friendly area has no court dates until who knows when....

It makes me love my vacation rentals a little bit more.

There’s no lease!

If a guest tries to over stay their welcome or is doing something stupid like blasting music from the hot tub at 3am.... you call the cops and have them removed. Simple as that.

In the past week my smoky mountain cabins have filled up so fast I’ve raised my rates 3 times.

***(note for noobs) if you let your guests stay longer than the legal limit without a lease they of course become tenants with rights (28-30 days). In my market the average stay is 3-4 nights.
