In SF there is no distinction if it's apartments or condos, just unit count limit that is zoned. 

To some degree I agree with both @Tom V. and @Greg S.Then again, I'd like to add that I think a distinction should be made between the (surely rare) case of a person having no credit score at all and one having a bad credit score.

While not necessarily exclusive to ST rentals, and certainly not for everyone, the distinctions between traditional LT landlords and ST hosting/rentals are distinct, tangible, and worth comparing against long term goals.

@Felipe Ocampo ,To answer your question, I would like to make a distinction between contract (lease agreement), and application.The purpose of signing a contract (lease agreement) is to hold that person liable if things go sour between you and the tenant.  

You can still be a stringent landlord, but you know what tenants want, what's important to them, etc. 

Is there a clear distinction?

The distinction may not matter, but we will find out. 

That distinction seems tenuously semantic and would most likely be viewed as discriminatory.Also, if the disabled individual has good credit, favorable rental references, and a security deposit, the risk of having to garnish wages would be no greater than any other tenant. 

So @Nancy Larcom, it's clear that there are at least three distinct addresses in a three year period; so not the most stable of tenants if you are seeking a tenant who will still for a while. 

I am simply asking two distinct questions to actual landlords that currently allow pets. 1.
