East Orange, NJ Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Section 228-4.A(8) requires every STR application to list the number and location of parking spaces available on the premises, counting both legal off-street spaces and on-street spaces directly adjacent to the property, and to certify that every effort will be made to avoid and/or mitigate issues with on-street parking in the neighborhood resulting from excessive vehicles generated by the STR. Section 228-4.A(9) then fixes a hard ratio for guests: all renters of the STRP shall be limited to one vehicle per two occupants in the STRP, so a four-guest booking may bring no more than two vehicles onto the property or adjacent street.

Section 228-4.A(10) adds a broader duty that overlaps with the parking rule: the owner must use best efforts to ensure transient occupants do not disrupt the neighborhood or interfere with neighbors' quiet enjoyment. Section 228-6.E(4) requires the owner to post the maximum number of available on-site parking spaces inside the rental unit itself, alongside emergency contact numbers, so occupants know the limit before they invite additional vehicles. Enforcement runs through the complaint process in § 228-6.J: once the city receives two substantiated complaints specifically about excessive vehicles belonging to an STR's transient occupants, the Director of the Short-Term Rental Subdivision or the City Administrator may revoke the STR permit for that property, a lower complaint threshold than the three-complaint trigger that applies to other nuisance violations under § 228-6.I.
