Long Term Tenant on Short Term Rental Property

Hi all! Have you ever had a short term rental that has an ADU on the property or in a separate part of the house where a long term tenant resides? Do you put that in your house rules and ask the guests not to bother them essentially? Keep in mind that the LTR tenant is staying, I will not be asking them to vacate so please don't suggest the obvious. :-)

No, but I've had several STR tenants that have stayed over 52 weeks. They made friends with the neighbors. The 2 parties ended up drinking beer every night and having dinner together. That was 2 years ago. The STR tenant is back and I put him in the same house next to his previous neighbors.

    Yes, I do have that currently. All l do is verbally let LT know the other house is an STR. I put in my check in instructions and descriptions in Airbnb etc.. I usually tell the STR where to park as to not block other guest. It has never been a problem for the STR or the LTR

    I have a quad with 2 units being STR and 2 units being LTR. To complicate things, we self manage the LTR units and use a PM for the STR units. The LTR tenants have the STR PM phone number and our phone number.

    There have been minor issues related to parking (STR tenants sucked at parking in an admittedly challenging parking lot).

    We also had someone get stain all over the Trex deck. Figuring out who was responsible was impossible. STR PM company attempted to remove the stain, but it would not come off the deck. If this was a single unit, there would be no doubt who was responsible.

    In most cases there is no difference in the STR and LTR tenants on one property than having a single STR unit with neighbors.

    Good luck

    This isn't uncommon and shouldn't be a problem. Full disclosure to the long-term and short-term renters. It's actually nice because your long-term renter can report problems to you (parties, fights, etc.)

    I have a colleague who has 800 units with short, medium, and long term residents living in the same apartment-like communities.  Length of stay is not a permission slip to act a fool or demand entitled living.
