I am in Los Angeles, which has pretty strict rent control ordinances. About the only reason you can evict someone who has established residency is for non-payment of rent. If they pay, they stay, no matter how awful they might be. Landlords have absolutely no rights, in my years of experience managing rental property in Los Angeles.
I am very concerned with allowing a guest to stay long enough to establish residency under rent control, which in Los Angeles gives all the rights to the tenants and no rights to the Landlord (I managed apartment buildings for many years, and I am very familiar with the terms and conditions of Los Angeles rent control laws).
I would like to hear from other Los Angeles city Air BNB hosts who know how to handle this situation.
At this point I am very wary of renting for longer than say 28 consecutive days.
Can someone tell me how they handle long-term guests, what we can legally do to protect ourselves from the guests establishing residency, if anything, and experiences Los Angeles hosts have had with long-term guests and Los Angeles rent control ordinances?
I saw in a post where the host was able to make the price double or triple for the 30th or whatever day establishes residency under LA Rent Control Laws. This seems like it might work, especially if the guest must pay that amount beforehand in order to continue to stay. However, once they are in, they are in, as we all know, and posession is 9 tenths of the law here!
Advice, please!!!
