No McKeesport insurance mandate for STRs. Hosts strongly advised to carry commercial liability coverage. Airbnb AirCover and Vrbo Liability Insurance provide platform-based protection up to $1 million.
McKeesport imposes no STR-specific insurance requirement under current ordinances. PA has no statewide STR insurance mandate either. However, standard homeowners insurance typically excludes commercial short-term rental activity; operating an STR on a personal HO-3 policy without disclosure can void coverage for any claim. Recommended: either a commercial STR endorsement, a dedicated short-term rental policy (e.g., Proper Insurance, Slice), or a landlord/commercial policy with STR coverage. Airbnb's AirCover for Hosts provides up to $1 million in host liability and $3 million in host damage protection for booked stays, at no additional cost. Vrbo's Liability Insurance offers $1 million per claim. These platform protections do not cover vacant periods, non-platform bookings, or intentional misrepresentation. PA Landlord-Tenant Act (68 P.S. §250.101 et seq.) does not apply to transient stays under 30 days but may apply to extended bookings.
No municipal penalty applies to uninsured hosts. Civil liability for injuries is substantial; uninsured hosts risk personal asset exposure. Mortgage covenants may also require adequate insurance.
