Massachusetts law requires short-term rental operators to maintain at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance covering each rental, unless intermediary provides equal coverage.
Under G.L. c. 64G Section 14, every short-term rental operator must maintain liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 to cover each short-term rental, unless the rental is offered through a hosting platform that maintains equal or greater coverage. The insurance must defend and indemnify the operator and tenants of the building for bodily injury and property damage. This requirement applies statewide and supplements municipal regulation under c. 64G Section 15.
Operating without required insurance violates state law and may result in registration suspension and civil penalties.
