And lawyers, legal terms, copyright infringement, etc means we can't give permission for our name to be used.

Any codes violations go back to the owner, and I have seen several instances where owners have turned around and sued their tenants for running STRs without their permission. 

The sticky point here is when you went into the public to get permission to rent your property out to someone else, now you're playing their game...why did you have an inspector come out in the first place?

You could with the sellers permission fix the problems before appraisal is done but then you risk fixing something for someone else then not being able to close on the deal or the appraiser calls something else out that you didn't foresee. 

I believe you would need the tenant's permission to get this.

If you're working with a construction person or trust one you can hire to fix stuff, that guy can self-solve any repair issue (with your permission).

A great recent example of a little pleasant surprise for investors seeking a vacation rental in or around Bandon is that assuming you can locate a property within the permissible zone, prepare to invest in a commercial sprinkler system prior to a vacation rental permit.

There may be a way to convert or meet terms, but it is better to ask permission than get caught.

This will help prevent tenants from swapping out their pets without permission and leaving them in dangerous or otherwise unsuitable conditions.

ADU seems like the next best option, as a rental for the next 10-15 years, and then potentially housing for boomerang kids after that.Lafayette zoning code seems relatively permissive on ADUs.
