Hotel and motel owners are pulling strings with the people that make the regulations. 

I heard that state has stiff regulations regarding group homes, especially if the state provides any funding.

I would call the building dept first... then figure out if you can afford the remodel, and all of the regulations. 

If SFR you have a few regulations to follow but nothing crazy like relocation assistance.

I would not offer them a 12 month lease at all.Check the Attorney General sight for the rules and regulations.

The BO sent me the Virginia Regulations for the Board of Contractors and told me to apply for a contractor's license, but while reading through it I saw that in Section 54.1-1101 it states that the license provisions don't apply in a bunch of scenarios, such as work on primary residence, work on a home that will be gifted to an immediate family member provided they live in the house, and most interestingly 'Any person who performs or supervises the repair or improvement of residential dwelling units owned by him that are subject to the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.'

EVERYTHING has a hot tub, and local regulations require the water to be changed between guests.  

For example my property build in 2004, i'm in the middle of Gardners basin and Snug harbor so water on each side of my block and infront of me. my flood insurance is 300$ a year as the house is 5 feet of the ground and in 2004 was built to Fema regulations.

Hey @John Williams, so when you say don't allow short term rentals, do you mean that there are regulations or so you mean that the owners don't rent it out short term?
