Two months later, we informed them we were not renewing their lease at the end of term {Not because they asked for a reduction ... but because they were a nuisance to the rest of the building}.

It's not a nice 'hood either, but it doesn''t appear to have the obvious neighbor nuisances the other one has.

Thanks for the understanding, and my apologies for not correcting this nuisance sooner.

As far as the disclosure I'm assuming you're looking at this from the perspective that fall under a neighborhood noise problem or nuisance? 

Yes, one of the big hurdles we are planning for is preventing down time or nuisances to the first floor businesses caused buy the renovations (installation of new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC system).

I have a friend who has a few of these vacation rentals near Zion and they seem to do quite well, but they require a lot more management than a traditional rental and may be a nuisance unless you have a sufficient amount of properties to have staff.

I think it is great for "nuisance claims," but never want to find myself in the position of getting hit with a law suit and having my only line of defense disappear.

That, and conducting business ethically and within accepted legal boundaries.Pessimistically speaking, however, between nuisance lawsuits, insurance companies willing to settle, and tenant-friendly socialist communities, investing in real estate can be a stacked deck even for the best landlord.

It's a real nuisance.

@Carissa DiPietro there are actually quite a few legitimate reasons for landlords to not rent to people with ESA’s: if the animal is too big for the unit, if the animal causes a nuisance to other residents in the building, if the animal causes undo financial harm to the building owner, if the building owner is a small-time landlord with less than a certain number of properties, if the building owner lives in one of the units in the building and the building is less than 4 units, etc. the ESA rules aren’t just carte blanche anyone can have an ESA and landlords can’t say or do anything about it.
