Dear Committee, My short-term rental is an in-law apartment attached to my home. It previously housed my mother-in-law until her health required a move to an assisted living facility. After leaving the unit vacant for more than 15 months for emotional reasons, my wife and I had to renting it approximately seven months ago to help with her assisted living costs, which currently exceed $7,400 per month and are expected to rise to nearly $12,000 as her care needs increase. I respectfully plead that you avoid overregulating and overburdening New Hampshire residents who are simply trying to manage real-life financial pressures. Please do not turn NH into Massachusetts! Thank you for your time and for your service in helping keep New Hampshire a great place to live. Sincerely, Ray Tetu Laconia
