Newport, RI Stiffens Fire Safety Requirements for AirBnB PropertiesThe Summer of '18 was a distressing one for many AirBnB property owners in Newport, Rhode Island. Property owners across the city opened notices from the Building Inspector's office telling them they were not approved for registration as a short term rental. The reason? As a local AirBnB manager I have clients who received this notice. When they asked for more information they received this email from the Building Inspector's office in Newport: Be advised that unless you live within the dwelling unit while the renters are there it is considered a “change of use” under RI Building Code and therefore becomes subject to code upgrades equal to a hotel (R-1) including: but not limited to:Fire sprinkler systemUpgraded fire ala... 08/13/2018

Should you let your tenant apply the security deposit to last month's rent? Moving is expensive, whether you're moving into a new home or moving from one apartment to the next.

Rhode Islander's LOVE their pets and we'd do just about anything to have them be happy and healthy. In Newport more than half of all residents are renters, whether they're military families, summer residents here for work or play, college students attending one of the local universities, or those who live and work on the island year round. In my experience more people have pets than don't. Not surprisingly many, if not most,  Landlords have "no pet" policies" due to the damage that is caused in some cases. But that can narrow down the pool of possible renters and cause unwanted vacancies. Many landlords will find themselves working with pet owners in order to fill vacancies, and this blog is about ways you can minimize your risk.  Security Deposit vs. Pet Deposit: Rhode Island law state... 06/05/2017
