Camden County imposes no primary-residence requirement on short-term rentals. Whether a rental must be your main home is decided by each municipality; many towns instead limit or ban non-owner-occupied short stays through zoning.
New Jersey does not have a statewide primary-residence rule for short-term rentals, and counties cannot impose one. Under the Municipal Land Use Law, individual towns may require that a short-term rental be the host's primary residence, cap the number of rental days when the owner is away, or prohibit whole-home investor rentals in residential zones. Cherry Hill Township effectively bars non-resident short stays by prohibiting all rentals under 30 days. Because approaches vary widely across Camden County's municipalities, confirm with your local zoning officer whether owner-occupancy is a condition of legally operating a short-term rental.
Municipal zoning penalties; operating a prohibited investor STR can bring daily fines and, in ban towns like Cherry Hill, up to 90 days in jail.
