You get in, county shuts it down, your competition is stifled.

The breakers may also fail to shut off internally even if the toggle is switched to "off."

@Mike Church The deal will work if both parties are in agreement.

Yes, he was shutting down his competition using the power of government.

So We shut off online payments a week before the court date now.  

Obviously there's a grass roots component here (along with the hotel lobbyist's obviously).I say this, in this tread specifically, not to play chicken little but to make potential short term rental investors in the Tucson, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Flagstaff and other communities aware of the fact that Arizona will not always be the "Airbnb Wild West" and to be prepared for the eventuality of STR regulations being imposed here, as is happening all over the country.Now, most of the regulations that I've seen that have been imposed have a grandfather component so getting in ahead of the "smack down" could stand to secure the value of your rental, but this has not always been the case, some places simply shut it down (Which I don't think AZ would do, if anything they'll just impose a permitting requirement as it shows good faith to the lobbyist's AND increases tax income).Also, government regulation isn't ALL bad, as it slows the influx of competition in an area, helping to keep prices from bottoming out.I say all that to say this.

In your current situation if the tenant doesn't check the water level and it goes to low the boiler will shut off and the tenants won't have heat until someone adds water.

thanks everyone @Denise Pauzano my investors were mostly friends/friends of friends/people from church.

The problem is that as soon as I mention the word "foreclosure", the person immediately shuts down and tries to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
