Short-Term Rentals are now Restricted by Permit in Atlanta

Atlanta has put some new rules in place for short-term rental investors– which is a great thing if you’re looking to buy a home to live in!! Let’s break this down why Short-Term Rentals are now Restricted by Permit in Atlanta.

Here’s what you need to know:⁠

01. Investors looking to operate short-term rentals are now required to have a permit⁠.

02. The permit is only valid for 2 properties (one of which must be the investor’s primary residence).⁠

03. Investors must be a resident of Atlanta to operate a short-term rental in the city⁠.

So what does this mean for you on your home search?⁠

Since most investors are cash-ready, their offers are more likely to be accepted. But…⁠

Now that the city has gotten more strict on who can operate short-term rentals & how many they can operate at one time, this means you’ll have less competition with investors.⁠

Which ultimately means you have a MUCH better chance of securing your dream home!
