Hi folks, this has been all over the news and social media so I hope it's not a surprise to anyone but I just wanted to cover all the bases.Due to legislation spearheaded by the RI attorney general earlier this year, there is a new RI rental registry in place that requires all rental unit owners (even short term rentals) to register every rental property and rental unit in the state of RI, by October 1, 2024.The website is www.rentalregistry.ri.gov and you will also need to upload a current lead certificate ("Certificate of Lead Conformance") for each rental unit.The demand is so high that lead inspectors are currently booked out into November and December, so I hope you already have lead paint certs for all your units.

You can report it to your state AG, but if there's no wholesaling legislation on the books in this state, then it's purely a contract dispute.

Wondering if anybody has done something similar through this legislation before.

Florida condominium associations are currently navigating significant challenges due to recent legislative changes and rising insurance costs.

Changing legislation, primarily at the state and local (county) level, I think, is one of the biggest reasons for cancellations in NC and VA.

The Utah State Legislator passed a law last year overriding all HOA's allowing Primary Residences to have rentable ADU's.

@Denise Evans should have some great insight on this.And, maybe shed some light on the anti-squatter legislation that governor mee-maw signed a while back.

Legislation is pretty clear in on priority to keep safe unpermitted units.  

Section 5321.20 | State policy and legislative findings. https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-5321.19I agree with this policy and legislative findings .

I believe you'll be fine as long as theres no HOA or local legislation against STR's.
