I noted the year-over-year increase in STR permits, the decrease in average nightly revenue, and the sentiment that economically-incentivized sellers would flood the market after this winter season (effectively increasing housing supply and decreasing prices).

This was not on the inspection report and did not present as an issue until I went through my first winter season.

Then look at mini-splits, which will help with the Winter heat too, then more window/bigger window/wall units, then lastly forced air.And NEVER give in to a tenant who threatens you. 

During the slower winter months, we convert some STR properties to MTR. 

Columbus has all 4 seasons and it really is not that bad with the winter. 

He is always helpful and accountable,  shoveling snow alongside me on winter days, keeping me informed about issues as they come up, etc. 

When their lease ended in August, you could have offered them to sign another one-year lease, or they could pay a higher fee for a monthly rental to offset the risk you face of a winter vacancy.When my tenants are up for renewal, I give them three choices:1.

Temperature control:  It's always naturally cooler downstairs, and in the heights of summer and winter, I just cannot get the temperature regulated for both me and my tenant to where we're both comfortable. 

Once winter hits I'm assuming the water activities die down quite a bit. 

The moratoriumon evictions during the winter should be amended so that onlytenants who face job losses or other hardships are protected.
