Port Angeles To Restrict Property Rights

The City of Port Angeles will now require licenses and applications for short term rentals of which applications will be start on Monday, enforcement to begin Nov. 1.

The new code eliminates zoning as a factor in whether a license can be issued and there is a also now an inspection standard. The City will now also contact those whom are non-compliant including for any property that now may not have more than one unit per parcel (or property) even Duplexes as an STR.

The code differentiates between three types of short-term lodging facilities, bed and breakfasts, type one short-term rentals and type two short-term rentals.

Type one short-term rentals are rooms rented from the owner’s primary place of residence, where the owner is present in the lodging during the rental period.

Type two short-term rentals are those that are not the owner’s primary place residence. There will only be 200 type two business licenses available and the property owners will have many more burdens of which of course is to provide more housing to the low income minorities and any and all low lifes that The Psychotic City Council members bring into the area that, however, even their own Police Dept says is causing more crime but apparently to the low life psychotics, like this Lindsey Charmin Warmer, crime is collateral to the main goal of destroying Democracy including property rights.

One way around these Psychos is simply not apply, use the same property, for the same use, just know how to write the rental agreements. As I have said before, many times, I control the phones meaning ‘I’ hire no third party, ‘I’ prescreen and if it sounds to me like it is a non-American low income low life on the other end of the phone line, I say it has already been rented and “don’t call us, we will call you.”

The most important thing, other than don’t register as a STR, is the contract. Even for STRs, if the contract, agreement, is for 30 days, it is not considered a STR. This will limit the number of different tenants per month that come and go but advertise it as a “30 day rental” regardless if they stay for one day, one week or one month and strive to rent it for at least two weeks. There is no law that states that for a 30 day agreement, the tenants must stay for “30 days” nor ‘can’t stay longer than 30 days’ and another key in the new Code is “advertisements,” advertise it as a 30 day rental but stay as long as you like.
