Help! Looking for ideas on converting garage for rental/AirBNB

[Kyler Cook]

Hey Everyone!

My brother lives in a very high demand area (State College PA) and wants to convert his garage into a rental/Airbnb option, but he’s experiencing difficulties with the cities. They’re telling him his garage is too large as an independent dwelling. They’re calling it the mother in law suite code violation?

He’s asked to attach his garage but they still won’t let him do it? Any ideas? His neighbors just do it illegally, and he’s paying for his high virtue.

He needs help, and I know you guys are the folks that have thought of tons of options!
