Using a separate rental agreement on 30+ day rentals in California

[Roy1172]

Are many hosts out there in California using a separate/additonal agreement for 30+ day rentals?

What if you need to do an eviction?  How much will AirBnB help you in this situation?

I fear getting stuck with a 90+ day process and a bunch of legal and local government fees due to a rogue tenant.

Nothing will protect you from need to evict after you do 30+ days. Do background check and get valid ID as a first step.

Airbnb is just a marketing platform for your STR business so there isn't any help they can offer @Roy1172  if your guest decides to squat.

I would suggest you post on your local host group and yes I think long stay hosts in the US do send out a separate agreement but legally I don't know what protection it would offer you against long stay guest squatting. You probably want to take legal advice if you are unfamiliar with your local tenancy legislation.
