Short-term rentals (STRs) in Essex County, New Jersey, are regulated at the municipal level, with legality varying by town. Common local terms for these rentals include terms like "homestays" and "vacation rentals." In Newark, for instance, STRs are permitted primarily in owner-occupied properties such as single-family homes and certain multi-family dwellings, requiring an annual permit. Meanwhile, Glen Ridge has imposed a complete ban on these rentals. Properties that thrive as STRs in the region typically include urban apartments, particularly in areas like Newark and Bloomfield, where demand is also influenced by proximity to attractions and business hubs. The overall market environment caters to both tourists and business travelers, but stricter regulations and limits—such as caps on rental days—make it challenging to operate profitably. Regulation enforcement is managed by local zoning and planning departments, with substantial penalties for non-compliance.
