That used to be the case but when the city of Atlanta passed the tiny house legislation it opened up many new possibilities.

I alway make the point of emphasizing that our properties (not just the buildings) are non-smoking and that our policy is a $100 fine on first offence and, on a subsequent offence, they will be required to move.Depending on the legislation, its quit probable you cannot prevent your tenant from smoking on the street or pavement in front of your property.In the future, you are well within your right to deny a future applicant because they smoke  - just make your non-smoking policy very clear up-front.

As legislation like this continues to progress across the country, the permitting rights will become huge value adds for STR properties (IF they are transferrable upon sale).

The mayor just signed off on  legislation to that is aimed at tackling the issue of discrimination against households that use tenant-based vouchers, also known as Section 8 vouchers, to pay for their housing.

This is also not the Senate floor either where you are debating legislation. 

there is a big opportunity for BiggerPockets to add big value for esp California ADU developers as the state has passed some very good legislation to make adding ADU's and JADU's alot easier, expedient and less expensive. 

I sincerely hope it works out for those investors, but I have two concerns.If you have followed the topic over the last 10 years you have noticed that we are facing an increasing anti-landlord sentiment calling for more legislation.

I would love to start with less convoluted legislation.

Things started to really change in the 1st quarter and there is a lack of inventory mostly because of NV foreclosure legislation.

Do I need to cite the legislation code that I'm using?
