We bought a home in town that has a mother in law suite with its own entrance and we're renting it out on airbnb.

Hoping to stay near Mauldin but man prices still climbing in the Greenville area so might have to open up to those areas for strictly investment properties after we can find a bigger house here.

Unfortunately new tax laws will limit deductions in this scenario.

I understand the landlord-tenant laws in parts of California are extremely favorable to tenants.

But remember that tax laws change also.

If not licensed, they are probably violating FL state laws.

Eric, I agree with Jasmine above and get a CPA.Back when I started, both my wife and I had a high income, I had my MBA in finance, but I don't know the in and outs of tax law, which is a subject in itself.

I ended up asking my father in law and he believe it’s mildew as well.

Since you agreed to give it to him, I would, but when the lease expires, I would ask him to remove that clause or at least have a discussion about why he wants it, if you elect to stay there.I would place in writing the violations on his side, that you know he violated your privacy and is breaking the law to not provide you adequate notice, and that you will take him to court if he does it again.

There is however case law to go by from previous instances.
