I'm currently considering selling my condo, purchased in Dec 2014 once I could claim I have use my property as residential use for myself over 2 years. In the past 2.5 years, I have airbnb'ed my place out for about 50% of the time. In 2015, I believe the City of Oakland and began to enforce all Airbnb properties have to be registered as rental properties. I have done so to comply yet continue to use the address as my primary address and stay in the property for 50% of the remaining time.
My question is - how many days will I be able to claim the property as residential use? 50% of the time for the entire time period? 50% of the time after the policy change?
Thanks!
Best,
Diane
