“We get a complaint someone is renting out their guest house. We knock on the door. The party who answers says, 'Oh, no, we're just friends. We're staying here for a while, but we're not paying any rent.' Absent any direct proof, it's kind of hard to prove there is a violation there.”
“The proof that actually came to us was that the people who were renting it became unhappy with their landlord. So essentially, they turned themselves in. They provided us with a copy of a lease that the landlord had with them. That was the evidence we needed to show that in fact they were renting it.”
