Has anyone ever had a guest, that stayed a whole month, ask for a contract?
If yes, what did you give them?
Thanks!

Same thing here...different rules for 30 day rentals or longer. Including the applicability of lodging taxes. So check into that with your municipality. For collecting lodging taxes, they had to be checked out and then checked back in under a different reservation at day #29. Otherwise, they become a tenant and it's a different ballgame.Be very careful about a month long contract. In many states it would put you under tenant landlord laws. It's much better to do a week-by-week, then just extend it each week if it's mutually agreed on. That would also give you an out if these folks turned out to be guests you wish were not there.
Like JB, we are not licensed for long term rental..
I do the week-to-week for just that reason - do not want to get into the landlord/eviction problem and I also do not want to deal with the State over taxes. Plus, we never knew when the job would end. Over 30 days the lodging tax does not apply BUT then the landlord stuff does. No thank you. Week-to-week extentions with one week notice of departure.Be very careful about a month long contract. In many states it would put you under tenant landlord laws.

Can ResKey handle that? Do you have it set to not let them reserve more than a 7-day stay? If so, how do you avoid losing them at reservation time if they wanted to stay longer than 7 days?gillumhouse said:I do the week-to-week for just that reason...
In RezKey, you can reserve as many days as you wish. I just, in the case of Glenda, added 2 weeks at a time until it got close to one rez I already had for 2 rooms - I moved her rez into the big room since it was open for that week. She knew about one night that was on the books for all 3 rooms - we were going to move her stuff into the storage room for that night (and then 2 of them cancelled). She was laid off before we ran into a problem. I then un-reserved the nights I had her booked in advance. We miss her and she has texted how she misses us.I do the week-to-week for just that reason - do not want to get into the landlord/eviction problem and I also do not want to deal with the State over taxes.
