Short Term Rental Loophole without Airbnb Permit

[Brett Hundley]

The short term rental loophole is for rentals where the average stay period is 7 days or less. However in my city a permit is required to list on Airbnb for 30 consecutive days or less. If I want to use the short term rental loophole, do I qualify if I host a 30 day stay on Airbnb. Then, I quickly list and purchase 4 one day stays. This way my average becomes less than 7 days per stay.

At the end of the year I assume to use the short term rental loophole I need to provide Airbnb proof that I averaged 7 days or less.

Sounds like a headache.  How difficult is it to just get the permit?
