Lynn's short-term rental ordinance sets no separate guest-parking cap. STRs must meet the off-street parking required for the dwelling under the Lynn Zoning Ordinance, and guests follow the city's on-street parking and permit rules.
No Massachusetts statute fixes short-term rental parking, and Lynn's STR ordinance does not add a distinct guest-parking quota. Parking is governed by the city's Zoning Ordinance off-street parking standards for the underlying dwelling, and because Lynn licenses short-term rentals only in owner-occupied homes, the owner's required spaces are already counted. Guests who park on the street follow Lynn's normal parking regulations, enforced by the Parking Department, including posted snow-emergency restrictions. Inspectional Services can weigh parking complaints when it reviews the annual license.
Illegally parked guest vehicles get standard Lynn parking tickets and are towed during snow emergencies by the Parking Department. Persistent parking complaints can factor into Inspectional Services' review of the STR license.
