I haven't read through the novel yet :) , but I am just guessing someone is upset.... its like everywhere I turn, airBNB drama....Just curious by the way... were you in compliance with these with the City of Atlanta?

In some cases where they were not, fines can be issued and a tear down order for non-compliance.  

When I sell to a Tenant Buyer, I do a Dodd-Frank compliance check, they make a down payment or option payment to me, I get to keep that money, and I increase the monthly payment to reflect the note I've created (actually my attorney does the paperwork) and I get to keep the difference.

You need to talk to your broker and or an attorney to be in compliance.  

You don't have a conversation, you take photos, you write up non-compliance and if conditions persists contact health department to go in and inspect the unit.
