Today I received a letter from the City of Tucker stating that I am in violation of a zoning code that does not allow short term rental. I’m supposed to correct this problem otherwise be subjected to a citation or in other words a monetary fine $$$.
I have been hosting for four years and it was this past summer where I had one Guest who did not obey House Rules and had twice as many people in my home plus a pool party at 3 AM Due to this Guest breaking the terms of our contract, the reservation, and her irresponsible actions, brought my Airbnb to the attention of my neighborhood in a very negative light. This was the first time I actually evicted a Guest...she was supposed to stay one more night but I would NOT allow her do so and got her to leave with Airbnb’s help.
Now I need to find out what my rights are as a property owner in Dekalb County.
I am llicensed as a LLC, limited liability corporation, so I do pay business taxes.
Here we go Atlanta, just like other cities who had to wrestle with this short term rental tax issue… Once the cities can get their Piece of the Pie $$$ then they are usually happy to let us run our Airbnbs.
WE NEED AIRBNB TO GET INVOLVED NOW! AND TO LEVERAGE THE ATTENTION OF THE 2019 SUPERBOWL ON THE CITY OF ATL
