I tried to evict with denied appeals, and now the code enforcement officer is giving me till December 3rd, however the person is to move out by December 1 per notice from code enforcement and is working with case manager for placement.

It's a difficult challenge to catch & try to enforce:(

I think it  has to do with enforcing the law and not enabling folks to be homeless by providing free everything like what happens in the cities with large pop of homeless.

Further, how can you enforce collections if you're not a utility?

There is some debate as to how to new laws will be enforced.

After reviewing the latest ordinances, reports, and city guidelines, here’s a summary of my findings as of 11/18/2024:Key FindingsPermit Types and Fees:Type 1 (Owner-Occupied): $300 for 3 years.Type 2 (Non-Owner-Occupied): $450 for 3 years.Density caps apply to Type 2 permits (12.5% of block face).Enforcement:3 violations in 3 years lead to permit revocation.Fines up to $500/day for violations.Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT):City: 9%, County: 1.75%, State: 6%.Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO will remit directly to the city starting Feb 2025.Platform Obligations:STRs must have valid permits; unpermitted properties will be removed by platforms like Airbnb.Special Exceptions for Density Limits:Require approval by the Board of Adjustment (BOA).Zip Code BreakdownI focused on these 11 zip codes:Under San Antonio Rules:78205, 78204, 78215, 78210, 78212, 78245, 78258Independent Municipalities (Separate Rules):Alamo Heights (78209)Leon Valley (78238)Helotes (78023)Next Steps:Research density caps and zoning in specific zip codes.Dive into independent municipality rules for Alamo Heights, Leon Valley, and Helotes.Evaluate market maturity and income potential using tools like AirDNA.If anyone has experience operating STRs in San Antonio or these specific zip codes, I’d love to hear your insights, especially about density limits, enforcement trends, or community sentiment.Thanks in advance!

Do you have a strong lease that you understand and can enforce?

Always protect yourself by enforcing contracts, and learning to say no. 

Eventually, the supply of essentially free house and/or suckers runs out, or law enforcement catches on, or some combination of those factors.

Separate checking accounts not required, but you need to maintain separate books and records.The TREC requirement is correct, but odds of enforcement seem low.
