Houses should be houses, not hotels.
It’s pretty simple and if I have to say the same thing to you again I will.
They're already using it as a house.
I have a finished basement. I could fit a bed down here. Am I somehow obligated to let somebody live here? You sound like a teenager.
Do you Airbnb it out?
I slept on a pull out bed in a mate's living room once so I guess that should be converted into a separate dwelling.
Excellent reading comprehension.
If I wanted to that still doesn't mean I am obligated to be a landlord.
If you Airbnb’d it out you would be a landlord.
Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn't endangering anyone. Houses shouldn't be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels.
Isn't this contradicting yourself already?
Some people own more than one house, and perpetually rent those properties out via sites like Airbnb.
So we have:
Buying a property that you don't intend to live in, so that you can rent it out to other people as a short term let.
Buying a property that you live in, and occasionally renting out a spare room as a short-term let while you continue to occupy the property.
These are not the same.
They literally say "Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn’t endangering anyone." but "Houses shouldn’t be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels." which isn't what you are saying there.
