It’s mostly about safety (no peeling paint, working smoke detectors, no broken windows, functioning HVAC/plumbing/electric).

All smoke and mirrors in my mind and the SEC/AG will likely confirm all this. 

Maybe you could help the OP find a place there  Houston has updated its short-term rental (STR) regulations, effective August 1, 2025, requiring hosts to register their properties annually with a $275 fee and comply with safety standards like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

You can find me in Speakeasy's, Whiskey & Bourbon bars, Breweries, and my back yard smoking meats.  

The inspector should use a checklist covering appliances, locks, A/C, furnace, water heater, smoke detectors, electrical, plumbing, and lease violations.

I had to get as-built plans drawn up, submit to LADBS, deal with plan check corrections, then bring everything up to code (electrical, plumbing, egress windows, smoke/CO detectors, etc.).

Anyone who mass teaches a concept and gives you the impression that it is acceptable everywhere, is "blowing smoke" to collect membership fees.

Example: Many of our clients have utilized their coastal homes during periods of intense wildfires or related smoke in their primary communities.

So then I jacked up my deductibles, cut the policy down to bare bones, and vow never to make another claim unless it's a significant event (only one claim ever - smoke damage caused by one of my day laborers at a vacant flip - and I loss my shirt on it). 

I don't see a smoking gun as of yet, I don't.
