Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as "hospedaje a corto plazo" in Los Héroes Comunidad, Puerto Rico, are subject to specific regulations overseen by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. STRs are generally legal if operators comply with local laws, which include obtaining a Merchant Registration from the Treasury Department, securing a use permit, and registering as an innkeeper. Properties can vary widely, with both urban apartments and rural cabins thriving, although rural rentals may face stricter regulations due to zoning laws. The market primarily caters to tourists, particularly those seeking vacation experiences near the island's attractions, although there is also some demand from business travelers. As the government continues to debate regulations within the STR sector, local communities have expressed a need for clearer guidelines and management practices.
