Are You in Compliance with DC's New Short-Term Rental Laws?

Accessory dwelling units on an owner-occupied premises also qualify under these rules.  Read more here...

It's a little unclear @April Pun as the guidance states that the property must be your primary residence so if you own a property out of state that is your primary residence, your license would not be approved. It also states, however, that if the property is held in an LLC or other business entity, the property would not be eligible so that implies that an investment property held in by an individual person(s) would be eligible.
