Manchester applies general noise ordinances to short-term rental properties. Operators are responsible for ensuring guests comply with local quiet hours and noise limits.
Manchester noise ordinances apply equally to short-term rental guests and permanent residents. Property owners and operators bear responsibility for guest behavior under local nuisance ordinances. Most municipalities require STR operators to provide guests with local noise rules and quiet hours. Complaints from neighbors may result in enforcement against the property owner. Repeat noise violations can lead to permit revocation where local STR permits exist. New Hampshire's approach generally holds property owners accountable rather than guests directly. A local contact person may be required to respond to complaints within a reasonable timeframe.
Noise violations at STRs: fines $100 to $300 per incident. Three or more violations may trigger permit review or revocation. Property owner liable for guest conduct.
