Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

Because I rent 4 bedrooms house, it's more conducive to large gatherings and parties.Another issue and please tell me if this is normal that when people book for 5 people they usually have at least 10 or 15 additional guests.
