What if your Airbnb guest won’t leave?

An overstaying guest can quickly create legal and financial headaches if you don’t know your rights.

In this episode of STR Law, I’m joined by John Voss, with over 30 years representing property management companies and landlords in both residential and commercial cases. He explains the legal challenges that arise when short-term rental guests overstay, and how hosts can protect themselves from being pulled into landlord–tenant disputes.

• Eviction vs. ejection: why the distinction matters for STRs

• What really happens when guests refuse to leave

• How landlord–tenant laws can affect short-term rentals

• The contract language that helps safeguard your property

• Practical steps hosts can take to stay compliant and reduce risk

Taxes can make or break your short-term rental business, and most hosts are leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

In this episode, licensed CPA, Ryan Bakke, explains how Airbnb and vacation rental investors can use smart tax planning to keep more of what they earn. From bonus depreciation and cost segregation to entity structuring and the STR loophole, Ryan breaks down strategies in a way every host can understand:

• How the 2025 return of 100% bonus depreciation could unlock huge upfront tax savings

• The short-term rental loophole that allows you to offset W-2 income with STR losses

• Why most hosts should use LLCs (not S corps) to protect assets and avoid tax traps

• The truth about partnership deals and guaranteed loans—and who really gets the tax benefits

• What new tax law changes mean for STR hosts, from personal deductions to business planning
