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

I've already heard of AirBnb investors diverting from the city due to these coming regulations. Unfortunately the trajectory we have been on for some time and sadly will remain on for the time being.
