@Lacey Bediz I owned bed and breakfasts for 25 years which are essentially similar to STRs.

However, when I told the tenant that I will provide one hotel suite for 4 people (2 queen bed with kitchen and free breakfast), she has started demanding me to provide room and board for everyone including the dogs.

A rep from historical zoning  felt the most knowledgeable and thinks short-term rentals are not allowed and that the only thing that is technically allowed is a bed and breakfast where the owner or their agent would have to be on site.

I can tell you are aware of that possibility.)While you would still have complied with the letter of the law, depending on what the judge/commissioner had for breakfast, they may agree with the tenant’s sentiment if you took the “liberty” of writing “do not forward” on a first class letter, that may look like an unfair action in your favor.

@Davis Barnes come to the Friday 9/4/20 breakfast meeting in downtown Charleston. 7:30-9am at 60 bull cafe

@Najeh Davenport I had a pool at my bed and breakfast for 14 years.

I've agreed not to pay him back for 5 years.I also own a few bed and breakfasts and million dollar STRs.

I had a property (bed and breakfast) that we knew had 1 ghost and we just couldn’t sell it.

After 25 years in the bed and breakfast industry living amongst my guests I found that setting expectations and ground rules can be a game changer in keeping the harmonious relationship between you and your tenants.

You give me access to enough data and I can tell you what you'll eat for breakfast in a week and what color clothes you'll pick for that day.
