Condo

A condo (condominium) is a privately owned residential unit within a multi-unit building or complex that can be operated as a vacation rental. Condos are among the most common property types in the short-term rental industry, particularly in urban centers, beach towns, and ski resort areas. Managing condos as vacation rentals involves unique considerations including HOA rules and restrictions, shared amenity access, noise policies, and building-specific check-in procedures. Many condo buildings have specific short-term rental bylaws that property managers must comply with, and some prohibit or limit STR activity entirely. Property managers with condo portfolios should use a PMS that handles building-specific rules, automates guest communication about shared-space policies, and tracks compliance with HOA requirements.
