[Vision2020] Guests or Tenants?

After having glanced at the Moscow city code definition of a boarding house, could you please explain how providing accommodations to guests for a couple of weeks for compensation fails to meet the afore mentioned definition? Just exactly where in the code does it distinguish between  a "resident guest" and a "resident tenant"? And lastly, why would it be "inappropriate commentary" to discuss this type of topic on Dale's personal blog and yet be just ducky for you to do the same on your own web site, to which you thoughtfully provided a link, not to mention here on the V?
