Can you run an Airbnb in a residential-only area?


  • Hi everyone! I’m thinking about starting an Airbnb in my house, but it’s located in a residential-only area. Does anyone know if this is allowed? Are there specific rules or restrictions I should be aware of?



  • If your house is in a residential-only area, check local zoning regulations to see if short-term rentals are permitted. In some areas, restrictions apply, and you may need specific permits. Alternatively, consider guaranteed rental income through services like SmartHost. They offer fixed rent agreements, even in restricted areas, providing consistent earnings without the hassle of managing bookings.

  • This is a great question! I faced a similar situation. In my case, I had to apply for a permit and show that the neighbors wouldn’t be negatively affected. Definitely talk to your neighbors beforehand to avoid any conflicts.
