New Jersey sets no statewide short-term rental insurance mandate. Requirements come from each Atlantic County municipality's rental ordinance. Shore towns that license rentals can require proof of liability coverage.
No New Jersey statute fixes a short-term rental insurance floor, so requirements across Atlantic County come from each municipality. The shore towns that license rentals, including Atlantic City, Brigantine, Ventnor, and Margate, can require the host to carry liability coverage and show proof at licensing or inspection. Standard homeowner policies exclude commercial rental activity, so hosts add a short-term-rental endorsement or dedicated policy. Airbnb and Vrbo provide host liability coverage on platform bookings, but direct bookings leave the host exposed without separate insurance. The municipality, not Atlantic County, sets and checks any coverage requirement.
A host lacking required coverage risks denial or revocation of the municipal rental license and bears full personal liability for guest injury or property damage.
