A Short Term Rental (STR), also known as vacation rental or Airbnb rental, is a living space that is offered for rent to visiting guests for a short period of time. Short Term Rental Properties are usually furnished, and the dwelling can be a single room, multiple rooms, or an entire home. The rent period ranges from days to weeks, with a maximum of 30 days.

As of September 20, 2021, the City of Rochester adopted an ordinance to regulate short term rentals.
