Now if you're talking about new tenants every weekend or several times a week, then I'm not in support of guest pass issuance for these folks.
How would anyone be able to differentiate between a resident getting a guest pass for a visiting friend versus another resident getting a guest pass for a tenant that is renting a room in their home short term via AIRBnB? That’s why I like the idea of limiting the number of free guest passes to something reasonable for legitimate resident guests but would be a deterrent for revolving door short term rentals.
