New York and New Jersey

Short-term rental rates across New York and New Jersey have surged ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with some hosts increasing nightly prices by several hundred percent as demand grows around matches at MetLife Stadium.

Industry data shows STR demand in host markets is significantly higher than normal, while New York City’s restrictions on rentals of fewer than 30 days may be pushing visitors toward nearby New Jersey communities. However, analysts caution that some operators may be setting rates too aggressively, risking vacant properties if demand falls short of expectations.

Grand Haven, MI

Grand Haven officials have voted to significantly increase fines for unregistered short-term rentals.

The proposed changes would raise fines from the current $250, $500, and $1,000 structure to $1,500, $2,000, and $2,500 for first, second, and third violations within a 36-month period. City leaders said the goal is to encourage operators to register properties and complete required safety inspections, with the ordinance amendment requiring a second vote before becoming final.

The current regulations, which include permits, fees, inspections, safety requirements, and advertising rules, were approved last year and went into effect in June. The commission had recommended aligning exemptions with state law by allowing owner-occupied STRs with up to two rooms to operate with fewer requirements, but city staff argue all STRs should be regulated equally due to safety and enforceability concerns. The City Council is set to review the proposal, with no decision expected yet.

Glendale, WI

Glendale officials have approved new short-term rental regulations following a shooting at a vacation rental property that renewed concerns about safety and neighborhood impacts.

The ordinance prohibits rentals of fewer than seven days, limits STR operations to six months per year, and requires properties to have liability insurance, a health department license, and a local manager available around the clock. Officials have already identified several unlicensed STRs and begun issuing cease-and-desist notices, with the city planning to use new technology to monitor compliance.
