Night Caps: Chandler vs Glendale

Is there a limit on how many nights I can rent my Chandler home on Airbnb?

No. Chandler does not cap the number of rental nights per year. Arizona state law (A.R.S. § 9-500.39) preempts cities from prohibiting short-term rentals or restricting use solely because the property is an STR, so Chandler's Chapter 22 instead regulates licensing, occupancy, emergency contact, and special-event hosting rather than rental frequency.

Can Chandler change the rules and add a night cap later?

Only within the limits of A.R.S. § 9-500.39. The Arizona statute, originally enacted by SB 1350 in 2016 and amended by HB 2672 (2019) and HB 2374 (2022), bars outright prohibitions but allows reasonable health, safety, occupancy, and licensing regulations. Chandler updates Chapter 22 by city ordinance, so confirm current rules with the City Clerk's Office at 480-782-2180.

Is there a limit on how many nights I can rent my Glendale Airbnb each year?

No. Arizona Revised Statutes Section 9-500.39 preempts cities and towns from limiting the duration or number of nights a property may be used as a vacation or short-term rental. Glendale City Code Section 29.1-41 follows that framework and imposes only registration, insurance, emergency-contact, and neighbor-notification requirements, not a night cap.

Can my HOA impose a minimum stay even though Glendale and Arizona do not?

Yes. State preemption under ARS 9-500.39 binds local governments, not private homeowner associations. CC&Rs in many Arrowhead Ranch, Sierra Verde, and other Glendale subdivisions impose minimum-stay rules (commonly 30 days) or outright STR bans that are enforceable as private contract terms. Check your HOA documents before listing, separate from city registration.
