STR guests in Grand Rapids must comply with the city's noise ordinance. Quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM apply to all occupants including short-term rental guests.
Short-term rental guests are subject to the same noise regulations as permanent residents. The city's noise ordinance restricts unreasonable noise during nighttime hours (10 PM–7 AM). Operators should provide house rules that include noise expectations. Neighbors can report noise disturbances to police at any time. Repeated noise complaints at an STR property may affect the operator's ability to continue renting.
Guests violating noise rules face the same penalties as any resident. Chronic noise issues at an STR may result in code compliance action against the property owner.
