Short-term rentals (STRs) in Providence County, Rhode Island, are defined as the occupancy of a dwelling unit for fewer than 28 consecutive days and are legally regulated. The City of Providence allows owner-occupied STRs in residential zoning districts R1, R1A, R2, and R3, while other zones permit rentals without owner occupancy. Owners must apply for a temporary use permit for entire unit rentals, which is subject to annual renewal; however, private bedroom rentals by the owner do not require this permit. Common STR properties include urban apartments and homes, particularly in neighborhoods frequented by tourists and visitors. The market caters primarily to tourists, leveraging local attractions and events, though there is also demand from business travelers. The Department of Inspection and Standards is the primary regulatory authority overseeing STR compliance and permits.
