Newark Ch. 18:14 limits STR stays to a maximum of 30 consecutive nights per guest. Total annual rental nights are capped at 180 days per calendar year. The unit must be the host primary residence.
Under Newark Ch. 18:14, a short-term rental is defined as a stay of fewer than 30 consecutive nights. Rentals of 30 or more consecutive nights fall under standard tenant protections and require a long-term rental certificate. The total number of nights an STR may be rented is capped at 180 days per calendar year. The property must be the host primary residence, meaning the host must live there for the remaining portion of the year. These caps help preserve housing stock in Newark, where rental vacancy rates are low. Hosts must track and report rental nights to the City. Exceeding night caps is grounds for permit revocation.
Exceeding 180 annual rental nights or 30-night stay limit may result in permit revocation.
