[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To summarize:

Illegal landlords can try their luck in the short term rental market. They need a license.

Renters renting from illegal landlords should in my opinion take the cue from these law-breakers and push the envelope as far as it would go. If your rental is not licensed, most likely it can’t be and for a good reason.

For the rest of you out there, pay $200 and get yourself a license, you cheapskates.[/quote]

Yes, they need a license - and they can waltz right in there and get one because they’re now far easier to get than a certificate of occupancy for a long term rental.  All the new law is going to do is persuade a lot of landlords on the fence - illegal long term rental, or legal arbnb rental? - to go with arbnb.  And the effect will be to remove many entirely safe and comfortable units from the long term affordable housing market.  [/quote]

I’m perfectly comfortable with that. You, the illegal long term landlord, will now be subject to the fair market forces. The legal landlords will get on, and there will be more units that are not basements because no Airbnb. Done.

But I don’t actually care about that. I care that your renter knows their rights and possibilities if they decide to rent your illegal rental.[/quote]

This is the point. Renters should know they can be as arrogant as the illegal landlord.[/quote]
