Exactly. Not an area I know well at all but my understanding is that evictions can often take months (landlord friend went 9 months with a tenant not paying rent before the tenants could be pried out by the sheriff). For a small time landlord this can be a back breaker (1-2K/month less income) and for some just not worth the risk when you can charge a higher rate with less risk in the STR market.

Surely there are many examples, counter examples, and horror stories to this issue, but for the system to work, evicting a tenant who is not paying rent ought to be fairly seamless.

And again, I am suggesting just to incentivize long term over short term. I’m not exactly a pro landlord kind of guy by nature.
