Short-term rental (STR)

A short-term rental (STR) is a furnished stay under 30 nights, booked through platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo. STRs are usually regulated by the city: many require a permit or registration, some cap non-owner-occupied units, and most stays owe lodging taxes. Check the rules for the exact address before you sign a lease.
