Royal Oak Short-Term Rental Rules

Royal Oak defines a short-term rental as certain residential rentals for no more than 30 consecutive days. Residential rental property must be registered with the city, and condo or HOA documents may impose stricter rules.

City rules are only one layer

Hosts should review city registration and inspection requirements, zoning, occupancy and property-maintenance rules. A condominium association, lender, insurer or lease can impose additional restrictions even when municipal law allows a use.

Before listing on Airbnb or Vrbo

  • Confirm city registration and inspection requirements.
  • Review the deed, master deed, bylaws and association rules.
  • Confirm insurance and mortgage compliance.
  • Review state and platform tax collection.
  • Establish parking, noise and local-contact procedures.
