Am landlord. I change the locks cylinders and specifically tell them this is their home now and I won't have a spare. I do this because it's a liability for me if they get robbed, they can't blame me.
Check where you're posting dumbass before coping to your "profession" as a thieving parasite.
I don't understand why you guys are flaming me. My house is used as a short term housing. I started doing it during covid for traveling nurses when nobody would rent to them. Then I still continued for people who were displaced. More recently I have someone from Maui and needed temporary housing while they were rebuilding their home.
I would have sold it but only do this for tax purposes. I'm well below the market only covering my mortgage and taxes.
Not all of us are assholes and leeches. There is clearly a need that hotels and Airbnb's are leeching over. Some of us care about our community and are not trying to better ourselves.
If they're covering your mortgage, these people are buying you your house. Owning a house after a decade or two, even if you really did have nothing else earned in the meantime, is massive profit leeched from others.
