Parma, OH Short-Term Rentals: Extended Home Share (2026)

04(a)(8) draws a bright line for extended stays, stating that rentals for thirty or more consecutive days by the same guest will not be subject to short-term rental regulations. 01(h), which defines the regulated activity as renting a dwelling for a fee and for less than thirty consecutive days. Together, the two sections mean the entire Chapter 1729 permit regime, including the permit application, the occupancy cap, the parking ratio, the insurance mandate and the admissions tax duty, simply does not attach once a guest's stay reaches the 30-day mark, because at that point the arrangement stops meeting the chapter's own definition of a short-term rental.

A host renting to the same guest for 30 days or more does not need a Chapter 1729 permit for that tenancy and is not subject to the Commissioner's short-term rental inspection, revocation or record-keeping requirements for it, though the arrangement may still be governed by Ohio's general landlord-tenant law rather than by Chapter 1729. The distinction matters for hosts who mix short stays with occasional longer bookings: only the sub-30-day bookings on a given dwelling trigger the short-term rental permit obligations, while a 30-day-plus booking to a single guest converts the arrangement to ordinary tenancy for the length of that stay.
