Newark Ch. 18:14 requires STR operators to inform guests about parking availability and local regulations. Many Newark neighborhoods have residential permit parking zones, and guests without permits risk ticketing. While the STR ordinance does not mandate a dedicated off-street parking space for each rental unit, hosts are expected to ensure guest vehicles do not create neighborhood parking conflicts. Newark has metered parking downtown and near transit hubs. Overnight street parking rules vary by zone. STR listings should clearly state parking availability and any permit requirements. Guests may park at Newark Penn Station garages or other public lots if on-street parking is unavailable.
