It's unfortunately a huge disservice to tenants as a whole.If you want to see some REALLY crazy legislation being passed, look at what is happening in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. 

This is because there are organizations like the Apartment Association of Southeastern WI who works to enact legislation to make things more fair to the landlord. 

The MD State Department of Assessments and Taxation (MD SDAT) estimates the value of a property, and the county or city is responsible for billing and collecting the taxes.Property taxes are generally used for things like public safety, sanitation, education, transportation, health services, legislative expenses, social services, recreation, and many other services extended to residents.AssessmentsThe total assessed value of a property is split into two sections: the land value and the property value.

I know recent legislation has made things a little more startup-cost prohibitive, so I wanted to get people's take on it.About myself, I'm just starting into the REI game, and I'm a physician. 

The governor actually passed legislation that was in support of short term rentals in Arizona.

For those that don't know Arizona is one of the few states that have legislation in place prohibiting cities from banning and regulating STR's, however, based on the above we can see that this is under attack and will most likely be overturned at some point. 

While you can carry-out wholesaling here in Canada, it is more challenging than south of the boarder due to a variety of factors: population, privacy legislation, lower delinquency rates, etc.

Also keep in mind that the legislation will likely change again in the future (for better or worse)...all the more reason why you should analyze the property as a 100% long-term rental (or a majority LTR with a small use on AIRBNB) and be comfortable with that outcome before purchasing.  

Non owner-occupied STR are currently under assault, with a bill before the metro council that if passed, will phase out STR in Nashville beginning in 2019.Operating a STR in Nashville requires a permit, and new permits for non-owner occupied STR are not being issued pending the outcome of this legislation.

Legally 60 days notice is not 60 days in most legislation it is actually 2 rental periods meaning he would have had to give notice no later that May 31.
