I had to deal with it already and it sucked. The whole street is pretty pissed off. Some people are renting long term and that's fine, but if it becomes a party pad it's going to be awful.


I definitely get your concerns, OP. But you could end up with lousy neighbors either way – so odds are that any turnover increases your odds of some decent people. Fingers crossed it becomes a long term rental.


I can relate. The house next door to me is an AirBnB. I hate it personally, in part because we're not on huge lots and I don't love the idea that there is a rotating cast of strangers within a few yards of my front door. I didn't buy a house in a commercial area and I would never have expected a boarding house right outside my window. And there have been occasional issues. We caught one of the "guests" going through our mailbox (which is attached to our house, not on the curb) to see if their mail had been misdelivered! And another one literally drove across my front lawn rather than back out of the driveway. Also the house is not nearly as well maintained as it would be if FT residents were there.

Realistically though, most of the time it's a non-issue. I scowl at the "guests" and put up a row of hedges to reinforce the boundaries.


You sound like a peach. I hope they scowl back!

This is the only real answer. Restrictions on short term rentals are becoming pretty common. A common one is that an owner must live on the property being rented.


Agree this is the best solution.


Sorry. My house and I'll use as I please.

Not exactly. There’s a range of activities you’re forbidden to do by your local zoning laws.
