Midterm rental permitting

[Talat Solaiman]

I am about to close on a deal to do midterm rental. Just find out the city ordinance is required if you rent any unit for 180 days or less, then you need to pull a permit. Most places is usually 30 days or less. Any thought?

@Talat Solaiman Congrats on your upcoming closing! Assuming you are referencing the city of Atlanta, the STR and MTR rental regulations are complex and strict, but many adhere to them. It has been in effect since early 2022, requiring licensing for STRs and max 180-day listing periods.

If you want to avoid the lengthy process of securing permits and navigating ordinances, you can always opt for long-term rental for the first year. This should simplify your approach and help you avoid legal issues for failure to perform under the contract.
