in addition not every investor wants to get into the lodging business.

It could be he is lodged and charged after which you can take possession based on abandonment/non-payment.It's always a good idea to use an attorney but if you spend the time, read the laws it's a pretty straight forward process to evict on the grounds you stated.  

The HOA of some buildings who did not have the "lodge or hotels" stopped allowing Airbnb.Commercial: it's a different beast, if you refer to warehouse, office or retail (and not multifamily).

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): This is a lodging tax imposed on guests for stays of less than 30 days.

I really need some advice...I am considering a cabin that that is very dated and really heavy with the lodge decor. 

In addition to the commercial property, it includes a 6-Bedroom ski-lodge that can sleep 24.  

The only language I can find is as follows: "Short-term rental means an accommodation where, in exchange for compensation, a residential dwellingunit is provided for lodging for a period of time not to exceed 30 consecutive days."

We are not obligated to pay their lodging.  

Wondering how this is possible with the city codes, I did more research and found that you can apply for a lodging license if you are renting out 5 or more beds.

Hi all, I'm getting started with mid-term rentals (~60 days) and trying to understand how the Pinellas county transient and Florida lodging taxes work.
