The people who brought you the April 15th Tea Parties have teamed with http://www.freeandequal.org/ to protest the direction that the Republican and Democratic parties have taken this country.Many of us have chosen to register as Democrats.

I then have them move out, then I send them a letter with an itemized list of deductions (if any) including pictures, which they can protest in writing if desired.Check how long you have to refund security deposits per your state law, but I'm thinking if you didn't have the $800 on you, you couldn't have been pressured into giving it all up.That may help you in the future (though again, you have to be the tough landlord and ignore the cries of how they need the money now, etc.., and just refer them to the law).

@Wayne Brooks you will not find any lawsuit from the STR platforms claiming illegality, what they are protesting is how the municipalities are holding them accountable for the everyday persons actions of running an unlicensed business or misclassified business for those with a business but not a hospitality business entity.

If they deny, go to the county then the state.I know of a guy who is a real estate attorney & protests taxes for his investors.

People whine and protest a bit, but thank God and our ancestors for the sacrifices they made to make our country great.

I'd say this reminds me of a quote about doth protesting too much or something like that.

Prepare to protest with documentation.

I assume there's a notable cost to go along with it, and being in a residential neighborhood you probably have to go through the whole shebang of having neighborhood meetings and allowing others to protest.

If there is ask what the steps would be to change the zoning.In my area, a mobile home would hurt the value and probably be protested by the neighbors, but if other areas not so much.Ask a neighbor or Realtor (who you might List it with later) who the utility providers are:  Water (or it is well for sure), Sewer (or is it septic for sure), electric, natural gas and/or is propane available, phone (sounds like a land line area), internet if available or only satellite. 

Maybe she can't pay but if you are nice she might leave (without cash) without protest or doing any damage.Good luck!
