You cannot legislate morality nor can you write it into a contract.

The new legislation that went active on Jan 1 changed the game and allows for adding 25% percent more units for multifamily state wide.  

There are a lot of great articles about it here on BP, episodes in the BP podcasts, etc.Again, it's possible people do it with ADUs around here but I haven't really heard of it, at least in RI where I live and do most of my investing - except for some legislation a few years ago limiting it to family members (i.e., a bona fide "in law" unit).

I have been trying to find local attorneys to help review leases and provide advice on the new legislation, but most don't want to touch it. 

Myself and sizeable group of investors and homeowners in Ann Arbor are fighting short term rental banning legislation in the City of Ann Arbor and are interested in working with an attorney or advocate with experience in short term rental legislation.

@Eric R Stofa The 2020 legislation is awesome!

I think this is more nonsense legislation that makes legislators "feel good" while providing undue burden on landlords.
