What is a "Short Term" or "Vacation Rental"??
What is considered a short-term rental in Arizona?
“Short term rentals” also known as “Vacation rentals” are dwelling units offered for a rental term of less than 30 days to transient guests. According to A.R.S. §9-500.39, local cities and towns may not regulate these types of rentals based solely on their classification or use.
Question: I am in the process of purchasing a vacation home in Scottsdale, Arizona. When I am not personally using it, I plan to offer it as a short-term vacation rental. I just received the CC&Rs from the title company and one provision causes me concern. It says that the home may only be used as “a single-family residence.” Does this mean that the home may not be used as a “vacation” residence by someone other than the owner?
Answer: Probably not. Under Arizona law, towns, cities, and counties generally cannot prohibit an owner from entering into short-term rental agreements for their homes (rental agreements of less than 30 days) (A.R.S. § 11-269.17 and A.R.S. § 9-500.39). This law does not apply to condominium or homeowner’s associations (HOAs). Therefore, HOAs can still prohibit an owner from using a home as a short-term vacation rental, but only if its CC&Rs clearly and specifically state the restriction. Otherwise, short term-rentals will be permitted.
Here, requiring the home to be used as a “single-family residence” should not prohibit use as a short-term vacation rental because the CC&Rs do not clearly define “single-family residence” to prohibit any length of rental use. As the Arizona Court of Appeals has said, “what constitutes a one-family or two-family dwelling is not determined by how many families pass through the residence…” In other words, as long as the vacation home is only use for lodging, i.e. “residing in” and the tenants do not conduct any business activities from the residence during their use, there should not be a violation of the CC&Rs.
**Please consult your HOA and or your attorney to clarify and seek advice regarding "Short Term" rentals if you have questions.

With over 30+ years of Residential Real Estate experience here in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, I bring my Clients decades of negotiating & marketing skills.
"Integrity, Honesty, Adaptability, Empathy, Resilience, Pro-Active, Optimistic"
These are not just words, but the basis of how I conduct my day to day business
Every Real Estate transaction is unique in its own way. The property, the participants, the location, the outside vendors and professionals involved, the time of the year, the economy, etc.
Truly evaluating the individual property, and the Seller's particular circumstances for wanting to sell is different in every case. Creating the best marketing game plan, pricing strategy, and time frame for each individual Seller is not learned just in real estate school, or after a few transactions.
I decided over 30 years ago that this would be my Full-Time career, and have strived to achieve the very highest standards within my industry, and build my reputation amongst my peers and fellow Realtors as a reliable, working professional in the marketplace.
Your home, and your trust in me to assist you in the marketing and selling of it, are absolutely my top priority.
I love what I do for a living and still get excited EVERY time I sit down with a Homeowner to discuss their property, and the options that are available to them.
As a former Real Estate Trainer, I love to teach others how the selling process works, what to expect at every stage, foresee and anticipate situations that might come up during the transaction, and find the most creative and successful marketing program for your home.
When we make the most important decisions in our lives regarding our health, family, retirement savings, careers, etc., we research our choices and use the most experienced professionals to guide us.
When it comes to our home, your most valuable asset in your financial estate, choosing your Real Estate Professional should be no different.
I truly look forward to being of assistance regarding any of your real estate questions or needs in the future.
Thank you,
Jim Conner
