I think most locals are aware of the history of STRs proposals/cases in Portsmouth, Laconia’s existing restrictions limiting non-owner occupied STRs to resort/shorefront only, VT's local option tax that allows a 1% tax above the state's existing 9% tax, Portland cap on STR permits and increases tied to inflation, and it's also probably a good idea for folks to understand NH's Senate Bill 249, which proposed a "ban of local bans" around STRs and basically died on the floor(?)

Hopefully they leave the place in good shape and clean so you can put it back on the market

If it's your building, and you want to clean it up, clean all of it up.

Clear up the myths, clean up the mythos, and truly get to nuts and bolts of investing.

I just replace the whole house with laminate floors.

I'd also have money held back at closing (a significant sum of money) that they do not get unless they are out within the 30 days (or whatever you agree to-do whatever you need to have them treated as a short term tenant) and leave the place clean and in good condition (ie same or better than when you viewed it).

Hello,I have a property that I am giving a face lift to (siding, new windows, partial roof, and new flooring.

Quote from @Branden Rivero: The issue I see is the building is close to 100 years old and with a $500 hoa it's not an easy sale for an investor Yes, thats true however all expenses the past year increase insurance, sewer, trash, electric and cleaning service.

If they choose to leave, then I would give them no more than 60 days to vacate, clean the place up, and rent it for market rate.
