I have 7 LTR’s and where I am, less than 6 months is considered short term, and hotel taxes must be paid.  

I have a tenant that is going to fill an emergency tenant remedies action on me which means I have 24 hours to fix the issue otherwise they are able to force me to pay for a hotel for them or something like that. 

In this case the hotels [which put up such a fight with regard to AirBNB] are now aiming to take on Airbnb.
