I'm planning on putting up my furnished 2 bed/2bath condo in Boston for rent for the winter. Don't worry - I know the regulations, it's my primary, it all checks out. Thoughts on posting it as a fully furnished 1 bedroom with full office (the way we currently have it set up) vs changing it to be a 2 bedroom? My thinking is that most people doing fully furnished short term rentals for several months at a time are single or couples, less often families, and that they are renting 2 bedrooms to have that dedicated work space. 

Hi there - I’m closing on a condo in Charlestown that hasn’t been renovated in …ages. It’s in a 1880s brownstone with 2 other independent condos. 

My question: reading the MA laws, tenants need to not be present for the time period of the actual deleading. What I can’t figure out is if this includes the other units in the building or just my unit that I’m deleading? This obviously is a much bigger deal if it involves displaces other units tenants. 

@Randall Alan Thank you for that! I'm looking in the Lakeland and/or Tampa region as well, so it's awesome to see someone in the area having success.
