Revere, MA Accessory Structures: ADU Rental Restrictions (2026)

030(F). That cross-reference ties the zoning ordinance directly to Revere's short-term rental licensing chapter at Title 8, so an ADU cannot be licensed or listed as a nightly or weekly rental the way a whole home or a room in the principal dwelling can be. Subsection E of the same section adds a second, related restriction: ADUs shall not have separate ownership, meaning an ADU cannot be condominiumized, subdivided or sold off from the principal lot, which forecloses one common way owners elsewhere convert an accessory unit into an income property distinct from their primary residence.

25 can only be used as a long-term residential unit, whether owner-occupied, rented to a family member, or leased to a long-term tenant, rather than marketed on a short-term platform or sold as its own unit. 020(I)'s site plan review requirement must show the unit will not be used or offered as a short-term rental, and the building inspector can act against a unit found operating as one.
