Montgomery County has no host-presence rule. Whether a host must be on site or name a local responsible agent is set by each borough or township. Many Montco STR ordinances require a 24/7 local contact who can respond quickly to problems.
No county law requires a short-term-rental host to be present or to designate an agent. These conditions are imposed by individual municipalities under their zoning and rental-licensing powers. A common Pennsylvania approach is to require the operator to name a local responsible party or property manager who lives within a set distance and is available 24 hours to respond to complaints or emergencies within a fixed time. Because requirements vary from one Montgomery County municipality to the next, check your borough or township STR ordinance for any host-presence or local-agent condition attached to the permit or license.
Failing to maintain a required local contact violates the municipal STR ordinance and can trigger fines and suspension or revocation of the rental permit by the local codes office.
