Wow that is amazing. I mean it is your home why should anyone care what you do with your home.
Some of it has to do with hotel/motel tax, yes.
But also residents who invest a lot of money to live here in a residential neighborhood should not have to worry about the house next door becoming a de facto business that is rented out weekly.
It's my understanding that AirB&B, which is pretty much temporary tourist kind of arrangements, is not the same as having one actual tenants who may stay a year or so. I know in some areas Airbnb have guests in and out all summer, changing every few days. Very handy for young people backpacking through Europe. I have heard some have had bad experiences although I only know of many who have had terrific experiences.
Our local ordinance prohibits rentals under 3 months.
If you are renting a house for 4 months while your permanent home is being built, fine.
If you want to rent your upstairs rec room to Canadian tourists coming in town for the CMA Festival in June, that's not allowed.
I thought the poster was talking about a longer term tenant.
Some municipalities also limit how many unrelated people can occupy the same house. I think the original point in even bringing it up was that the OP needs to check his local zoning ordinances regarding renting a room in a SFH.

I am talking about someone renting out a room for an extended amount of time, lets say to a student or some other individual, not a daily or by the week rental. I wouldn't want a home turned into a "hotel" space either.
the good news you can do square footage and do a huge amount of writoffs.
the bad-- when you live alone there is never more than one crazy person in the house at a time.
