@Matthew285 - 30 day minimum has been great for a number of reasons, it's less work for me and creates a greater sense of familiarity between guests which becomes a more comfortable experience for them (I rent several rooms). If any small issue occurs, you time to resolve it and at the end of the reservation it's not how the guest remembers their stay. I find it can take a few days for guests to get comfortable with their living situation. My guests are all professionals working in the city which is also cool, they're not just tourists. Most of the year is high season, but right now during the holidays it's pretty slow and difficult to maintain occupancy because people aren't working internships/new jobs through the breaks.
Yes this is true that people can establish tenant rights after staying for more than 30 days. I think the risk of this happening is pretty low though. Many of my guests are international and probably would not be able to establish these rights let alone attempt to. I also live on premise which might deter a potential squatter. But as always you want to be careful who you choose to host.
