Ramsey County sets no host-presence requirement. St. Paul does not require the host to stay on-site, but every rental must post a responsible-party contact reachable to handle problems during a guest's stay.
Host-presence rules are municipal in Minnesota, so Ramsey County imposes none. St. Paul allows non-owner-occupied short-term rentals, meaning the host need not live in the unit; instead, the required posted information must include contact information for the short-term rental host or the responsible party, plus emergency contacts, so someone can respond to issues. Neighboring cities may require a local contact within a set distance or on-site presence, so confirm the specific city's rule where the property is located.
Failing to designate and post a reachable responsible party is a Chapter 379 licensing violation; unresponsive hosts risk enforcement and license action by St. Paul DSI.
