While I'm not a legal expert, in Illinois, landlords typically have the right to serve a 5-day notice for unpaid rent.I had a friend who faced a similar situation with a tenant who was a traveling professional.

On top of all that, they could be deported or willingly return to their country and there's no way for you to pursue legal action against them if they leave damages or unpaid bills.

The investigation is just about done and the findings will be forwarded to our Legal Section in Sacramento for further handling.

What kind of lawyer do I need to help me get started in a STR business? Anyone set up their LLC in California?

"Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO is a good book for this purpose.

From my employer, I have legal insurance through ARAG that covers 100% of attorney fees when buying a primary residence, filing fees are extra.

I am fully aware this is not a legal advice forum, but just looking to hear what other landlords have done in this situation. 

Actually, YES, not only MAY the act of simply showing a property factually create "procuring cause" and be inclusive of a protected list, BUT just the action of having sent an e-mail of the listing, client having opened and seen that listing, not ever setting foot on premises, YES, that alone CAN be "procuring cause" and LEGALLY include such property into a protected list.
