Philadelphia requirements for short-term rentals are in effect

[Yuriy Skripnichenko]

Hi all,

Another “business friendly” act from city of Philadelphia.

If you rent your primary residence for period of less than 30 days, you must possess a zoning permit for limited lodging use. Beginning April 1, 2022, you will also be required to have a new limited lodging license.

If you rent a property that is not your primary residence for less than 30 days, you need a zoning permit for visitor accommodations. Beginning April 1, 2022, you will also be required to have a rental license with a ‘hotel’ designation.

You can find the bill details here and city FAQ for this here 

Cheers, 

Yuriy
