For nonresident vacation rental owners

[David M]

I have a couple of friends (retired teacher & psychologist), well, they no longer live on island, so maybe just acquaintances. They used to berate me that I did not have any cash based income. Their point being that such an income would be tax-free. Guess I should have come on this forum and others and ranted how Liberal/Democrats (and they are) cheat the system.

If posters here definitely know cheats, then turn them in - they should have a state tax ID and traceable. Do the right thing and not be an accomplice to the problem.

While easy to post the scare stories about craigslist, foreclosures, etc, these same stories apply to property for sale and for rental and already listed with licensed agents. If memory serves there was even a PW discussion in the past. There are many scams being run out there, but I doubt many are run by legitimate owners.

Poor service is not reserved to non resident owners, but most of what is termed poor service and gets complaints does not fall under any of the legal protections being claimed.

I tried do do a quick search to find the $500/night rentals here on the eastside - need some help.

Still a bad bill. Only about 2 steps removed from also making FSBO illegal. Will you also support that?
