<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">Although there is a presumption that a person in a licensed hotel is a “guest” and not a tenant the acts or failure to act on the part of the hotel may make
that guest a tenant. Length of stay, allowing the guest to instill a utility in the guest’s name (internet, telephone, etc), Different arrangement in payment (monthly payment for the room went guests pay weekly). I like when a guest puts the address of the
hotel on his driver’s license and the hotel knew or worse gave the guest permission to do so may make the guest a tenant. I had one case where the client live at a motel for several years and the owner of the motel allowed him to put in a separate electric
meter, took rent monthly and allowed the guest to put the motel’s address on his driver’s license was found to be a tenant which required the motel to go through the eviction process. Not as cut and dry as everyone thinks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hello all. I have a national hotel client who has an unsavory guest who has overstayed their welcome. The client says that in some states after ____ days a guest is treated as a tenant and can be evicted. I’ve
not heard of that in Florida and feel that once a guest always a guest and they should call the police and have the guest removed. Any advice or information would be much appreciated. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
