Any way to get a short-term tenant in Oakland?
I am planning on selling my Oakland condo in 1 or 2 years and would like to have a short-term tenant in the meantime.
I don't want to sell yet since I am moving to a temporary job and have only owned for 1.5 years.
My unit is covered by rent control and just cause evictions. I don't want to sell my condo occupied because it won't necessarily generate positive cash flow for a new purchaser based on current market rent.
Is it illegal to have a lease that does not renew? Is there any way to do a sublet agreement that is temporary?
Or, if I want to sell the condo unoccupied do I have to wait until the tenant moves out, which could be never?

List you unit as a short term rental on Airbnb for 30 days or more. Plenty of people do that.
