Since you’re considering converting the upper unit into a short-term rental, you may also want to implement strict rules around smoking or strong odors in your house rules to avoid future issues.

I have also seen appraisers recognize that multiple ADUs by rule does not qualify for conventional F/f financing.  

The rules are pretty complicated and the only people who really know all the terms and rules thoroughly are the Rent Levelling Board.Caveating that I’m not an attorney so go seek your own advice but I clarified a few things at a recent rent levelling hearing (which are open to the public and you can find the schedules with a simple Google).

If you're looking for cash flow (like the 1% rule) and amazing appreciation potential, I do recommend a market like Columbus Ohio.

What are the rules for removing this person, as I understand it he falls under hotel rules, not the landlord tenant act.

We pulled every trick in the book, and the odor remains.Another issue is that when tenants violate one rule, they tend to violate more.
