Boston FAQ

Can I switch from Home Share to Owner-Occupied later?

Yes, but you must reapply, pay the higher fee, and pass full ISD inspection before listing the entire unit while you are away.

Does Home Share have a night cap?

Home Share rentals are not subject to a hard annual night cap because the host remains present, but all stays must be under 28 days.
