Short-term rental regulations and local laws

Regulation is the biggest single risk to a short-term rental business. A registration cap, a primary-residence rule or a new occupancy tax can wipe out a market overnight, and rules now change faster than most hosts can track. This page collects The Host Report's coverage of city, state and national short-term rental laws: new ordinances, enforcement actions, court rulings, tax changes and the platforms' responses. Stories run newest first and note which markets are affected.
