Is there an occupancy maximum for STR’s in Cleveland?

[Brendan Connolly]

My wife and I are planning on moving out of our home in Cleveland and turning it into a short term rental. While researching the regulations around STRs in Cleveland, I saw that there is a regulation that says the maximum number of days someone can stay at your STR if you're in a residential zoning area is 91 days.

If that is true, having a STR in Cleveland does not look like a good investment for us. But there are a lot of Cleveland STR's in residential zoning areas, so I have to think that even if this regulation does exist, everyone is just ignoring it? Curious if this maximum occupancy rule is actually something to worry about.

If anyone has a STR in Cleveland or has any background on this topic, your input would be much appreciated!

Quick update: I called the Department of Building & Housing for Cleveland and confirmed that there is not a maximum amount of days allowed for STR's in residential zoning for Cleveland. I'm not sure why it says online that there is a law for a maximum of 91 days, but I talked to two different reps from the city that said that's not true.

Also confirmed that you do not need an inspection prior to starting your STR in Cleveland. That was another thing I saw as a requirement online that the reps at the Department of Building and Housing said you do not need. You just need to register your property as a rental and pay a $70 fee annually (and other taxes).
