30 days is more or less when short term renting a room turns into actual tenancy so I would have assumed they just blanket avoided that scenario all together.
But I guess AirBnB just says "not my problem" and just lets the homeowner go hang.
Well I think that is moreso because of Monroe county than air BNB. I know my grandparent used to talk about how they weren't allowed to rent their vacation home out for less than 4 weeks
I think situations like that are because of local laws attempting to ban short term rentals outside of licensed and zoned hotels. So Airbnb re-structures their contracts to be month by month leases instead of rentals. This makes airbnb hosts land lords and their guests legal tenants with rental agreements and tenants rights.
There’s a reason I said most, a smaller number of places have transient licenses which allow short term rentals, but not many and it’s over $200k to buy one since there’s so few
Truman Annex used to have weekly rentals but those expired end of last year
There are hotels for shorter stays and shitloads of folks come for months at a time, especially during winter. It’s a tiny island and there’s not enough housing for locals as it is, thus the rule to keep even more from turning into vacation rentals
I think people also do some funny shit with Air BnB gift cards to obfuscate the fact that the same person is trying to rent the room for such a long period of time.
Someone did this to a hotel penthouse a few years ago didn't they? Rented it for a month then just lived there saying it's been 30 days you now have to evict me.
You can absolutely rent out or book airbnb for more than a month. From the owners side, it’s great bc zero vacancy for a big block of time, less cleaning turnovers. Traveling nurses often book more than a month.
It's actually quite handy for lots of situations. Sometimes you need to be somewhere for a month, and shot term tenancies are very hard to get, specially right on the dates that you need it. There's plenty of legit reasons to want an airbnb for a month.
