Denver has filed felony criminal charges against a Denver couple for operating multiple Airbnb short-term rentals in violation of the primary residence.According to the people I talk to in the city, this has been a long time coming.

However, because A) we have a contract, and B) He showed up on the job site at least once, it's a civil, contract issue, and not a criminal one and they can't charge him for fraud.

Do you have any collections, judgments, evictions, or criminal history?

They should have a solid credit score, income and clean criminal record before ever coming to the apartment.I will generally show the apartment a couple of times a week, with 3-5 showings each time, assuming I can get that many pre-qualified people set up.

Honestly that's inappropriate behavior stepping dangerously close to criminality......I swearsome of the things said on these forums, I hope they're just bad jokes going over my head.

But I told them not to pay for it if they think they have bad credit, ( under 520) any  evictions or criminal records.

Doing so would be a criminal offense. 

The folks who operate and participate in this forum know a lot more about this subject than some family law or criminal defense attorney. 

If the tenant absolutely destroys the property when you try to evict then you can always pursue her criminally, file an insurance claim and then reduce the price on the as is sale and still sell at a lower price and keep the insurance pay out as well. 

You are not FORCED to buy a rent regulated building.I am a Brooklyn, NYC Property Investor with a portfolio of 10 small non-regulated multi-family buildings.It should be obvious that if you compare a rent regulated building to an equivalent non-regulated building, the latter is much more valuable.What REALLY BOTHERs me is the large amount of unscrupulous Investors that buy rent regulated buildings for CHEAP but then illegally treat it as non-regulated.This is NOT FAIR to those of use who pay the very large price difference to have non-regulated buildings.I am in FAVOR of forcing those Investors who purposely break the law to enrich themselves by paying for a rent regulated building but yet reap the benefit by charging market rents illegally.These criminal investors should not be competing against my much more expensive real estate.Typically, a building such as my 4 Family non-regulated building will be about twice as much as an equivalent 10 unit regulated building.
