It was so bad that in 2018 or so all properties owned by Section 8 were shut down.

I had a STR in another market get shut down by zoning, so I put construction workers in there on a 30+day stay over the summer and now have a MTR tenant to keep the lights on through May after which I'll sell since I have no guarantee on having another 30+day contract next summer.

Either way, clear communication with the guests about who’s managing the property is key to keeping reviews and satisfaction high.Permit Timing:The permit delay makes things tougher, but if you buy the furniture and keep future bookings, you might be able to use that time to update décor piece by piece without fully shutting down operations.
