Multi-market STR operators — how do you actually keep up with each city's rule change
Something I've been trying to wrap my head around: for anyone running short-term rentals in more than one city, the local rules seem to change constantly — permits, night caps, tax requirements — and they're different in every market.
How do you actually stay on top of it? Do you check the city websites yourself, get some kind of alert, or hear about changes through other hosts? And once you're juggling a few markets, how do you keep it all straight without something slipping through the cracks?
Genuinely curious whether most people have a real system for this, or whether it's mostly manual. And if a rule change has ever caught you off guard, I'd love to hear what happened — trying to learn from people who actually live this day to day.
