Reno does not impose a specific annual night cap on owner-occupied or unhosted STRs, but rentals must be under 28 consecutive days per stay. Density and separation rules effectively limit STR saturation in neighborhoods.
Unlike some cities that cap the number of nights a home can be rented short-term per year, Reno does not have an explicit annual night cap. Instead, Reno controls STR impact through per-stay length limits (under 28 consecutive days), zoning density (minimum separation distances between STR properties), and strict complaint-driven enforcement. Operators can rent year-round as long as each guest stay is under 28 days and permit conditions are met. Hosted rentals (owner on site) and unhosted rentals are both allowed but may have different conditions in specific zoning districts.
Stays of 28 days or more: treated as long-term tenancy, not STR. Exceeding zoning density: denial or revocation of permit.
