Obtain STR Permit

Your short-term rental permit is crucial, so protect it diligently. Follow town guidelines closely, build positive relationships with city officials, and be courteous to first responders if issues arise. Neighbor relations are a major factor in your rental's success and are beyond your control. Whether they support or challenge you, treat them with respect and understanding, as they likely see your property as a nuisance in their neighborhood. Address any complaints quickly and politely to build goodwill and help neighbors adjust to the changes. Major issues that will revoke a short term permit are parties, excessive noise after hours, and excessive trash that stinks or brings vermits. 

Some town’s guidance can be unclear or the websites are challenging to navigate. For additional information on how to navigate Rhode Island’s state and town’s regulations, check out all the STR permits at Air Hostd. For all other states, refer to this resource for a helpful guide.
