Jersey City

Short-term rentals in Jersey City are strictly regulated and limited to owner-occupied primary residences. Hosts are limited to unhosted rentals for a maximum of 60 nights per year unless they are present during the stay.

To host an Airbnb in Jersey City, you must be the owner and live in the property as your main home. You cannot rent out an apartment you rent from someone else, and you cannot host in a building you own if it has more than 4 units. You need to apply for an annual permit that costs $250, and if you aren't staying at the house while guests are there, you can only rent it out for 60 nights per year.
