He's violating contracts he signed, not only government regulations. These contracts are in place specifically because the market demands them. Most people don't want to live in a condo building that also includes DIY hotel rooms. Taking this into account, condo developers usually include clauses in the sales contract where your more or less agree not to turn your condo into a hotel room. This allows them to reassure prospective purchasers that such a scenario won't happen. That's why the person in this story not only needs to avoid the government, but also private-sector contract enforcement. Hence, he's looking for buildings with no doorman and no live-in super, since those would be more likely to notice his illicit activity. I don't see how that's libertarian or even Randian. Rand's view was that violating a contract is an act of indirect violence, essentially theft.
