Daily News | On Jan. 1, Philly will start enforcing new rules for Airbnb and other short-term rentals
Beginning Sunday, Philadelphia will have a fresh regulatory regime for Airbnb and other short-term rental properties.
“This is financially really impacting me because this is 100% of my income,” said Angela Romero, who owns a triplex in East Kensington where she lives in one unit and rents out the other two. The new law requires a “limited lodging operator” license for short-term rental hosts who live in the unit. The paperwork is inexpensive, but it means that hosts have to comply with a variety of other requirements, such as obtaining lead paint certifications and ensuring their properties are up to code.
The short-term rental industry got the city to push back implementation last year by arguing that some hosts had not been notified and that delays at the ZBA would make it impossible for many hosts to get legal before the deadline. “What’s coming to a head right now is whether we are about to ban 70% or more of short-term rentals,” said Theron Lewis, founder of the lobbying group Philadelphia STR Association. “People are trying to apply for a variance, but [the ZBA is] not able to see anybody until February or later. If something doesn’t change, these people are going to lose their businesses.”
