Philadelphia requirements for short-term rentals are in effect

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
