DC AirBnb: Which BBL should be used for the new legislation?
As the description says, I'm looking for insight on what kind of BBL can be used now to run AirBNB out of my two-unit primary residence under my LLC. People in my network (who have been in the business for a while) currently have the "Bed and Breakfast" license, but it is my understanding that this license will no longer apply to short term rentals and online bookings, so they hope to get grandfathered into the new laws.
The timing isn't great due to the uncertainty, but I am planning to start short term rentals early next month so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the licenses per DCRA:
Apartment
Boarding house
Hotel
One Family Rental
Two Family Rental
Bed and Breakfast
Cooperative Association
Inn and Motel
Rooming House
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any advice on this matter.
