Portland FAQ
Can I rent my whole home while traveling?
Type A allows incidental whole-home rentals while the host travels, as long as the host still occupies the home 270 nights per calendar year. Sustained whole-home rental requires a Type B conditional use permit.
What if I move and keep listing the unit?
The Type A permit becomes invalid the moment the dwelling stops being your primary residence. Continuing to list it is unpermitted activity and triggers Bureau of Development Services enforcement and potential platform takedown.
