File an Unlawful detainer and hope for a default (they don't respond in time).

hmmmmm well the only thing I can find really find on this is Illinois general assembly C-6 which states, "It is unlawful for a sex offender who owns and resides at residential real estate to knowingly rent any residential unit within the same building in which he or she resides to a person who is the parent or guardian of a child or children under 18 years of age" So I think you might have trouble house hacking or owning a building and living in one of the units.

You of course could proceed forward with an eviction for unlawful detainer at that point but that's a decision you have to make for yourself. 

They may have partnered with OceanPoint for property management and other activities, but were not knowingly doing any unlawful transactions.

Just a heads-up....you may want to take a look at areas/states that have made it unlawful to over-regulate STRs.

You sure don't want to give them $500 and then they sue you over something later on they claim you did wrong or unlawfully while they were your tenant.

@Joanne Adrien  The Atlanta ordinance is so full of provisions contrary to GA State Law that the ordinance itself is unlawful on its face.

Those amendments make it unlawful for any jurisdiction to discriminate against congregate living for the disabled.

It's not like I was just talking to some idiot from accounting on the phone.Lets look at the NC law Chris posted, it seems to answer my question quite well.http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/H...It very clearly states that what I proposed is in fact illegal:"it shall be unlawful for any new residential building, as hereinafter defined, to be served by a master meter for electric service or natural gas service.

Different states have deemed "rent-to-own" unlawful.
