If you are considering renting it for a minimum of 30 days, I believe you will be exempt from any short term rental rules and taxes. 

As a general rule, I tend to vote against anything that favors rent control and will increase property taxes.

So, if these are all in A neighborhoods, I would think you could get much closer to the "1% rule" on rent than where you're at now.

My 2 cents FWIS: You have three colors going right now and should stick with a 60-30-10 rule.

 - like we ar nice, deduct portions instead of full amount..this goes to court and judge rules in our favor and that means the smaller amounts we offered being nice.

So I doubt whether I should sign, or it's a kind of rule that I have to sign if I work with agents to find the deals. 

DC has its own set of rules—often requiring a Basic Business License with endorsements for specific trades. 

If it were me I would give them two or three months and respectfully answer their questions but also let them know what your ground rules are regarding taking calls and how you handle things - in other words be polite and also educative as to how you handle things.Good Luck!

. $50/month does not justify the effort/risk.The 50% rule is way too aggressive at this rent point.  

Some cities have started introducing stricter rules, so ensuring compliance upfront can save you headaches later.Out of curiosity, are you leaning toward any specific property types (e.g., single-family homes, condos, or cabins)?
