Revere, MA Short-Term Rentals: Primary-Residence-Only Rule (2026)

030(A) of the Short-Term Rentals chapter lists exactly three categories of unit eligible for short-term rental in Revere, and all three tie back to owner occupancy. The first is an owner-adjacent unit in an owner-occupied condominium building, meaning the operator must own and occupy a unit in that same building. The second is an owner-adjacent unit in an owner-occupied dwelling containing four or fewer residential units, again requiring the operator to own and live in the building. The third is the operator's own primary residence unit itself.

Each category caps the rental party at six unrelated short-term renters (children under twelve excluded from the count), requires the whole unit to be rented as a single unit rather than splitting it bedroom by bedroom among separate rental parties, and limits the operator to no more than two Short-Term Rental Licenses per dwelling. 060(A) reinforces the restriction by making any residential unit that does not meet the definition of an owner-adjacent unit or a primary residence unit categorically ineligible for short-term rental, closing off absentee-owned investment units entirely. 040.
