Revere, MA Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Section 8.09.050(F) of the Revere Municipal Code, adopted by City Council Order 21-211 on August 23, 2021, requires every short-term rental operator to hand each rental party a document covering four items: trash-disposal instructions matching the city's recycling program, an emergency exit diagram for every bedroom, a local emergency contact, and a direct instruction that renters must not disturb the peace or the neighborhood's quiet enjoyment, referencing the city's general nuisance ordinance at R.R.O. 9.08.010 et seq. Subsection (G) makes the notice a physical requirement too: an 11-by-14-inch poster carrying all four items must be displayed in a conspicuous place inside the unit, and subsection (H) requires an 8.5-by-11-inch emergency exit sign in each bedroom.

The rule sits inside the city's broader registration scheme: a unit must first register under § 8.09.040 (a $300 annual fee, proof of owner occupancy, a $250,000 liability insurance binder) and pass inspection by the short-term rental enforcement office and the Revere Fire Department's Office of Fire Prevention before it can operate at all under § 8.09.050(A) and (E). Noise complaints are not just a courtesy issue: they feed the repeat-violator rule at § 8.09.060(D), which permanently bars a unit that racks up three violation findings, including excessive noise, within a single year.
