Hoboken Opens Door to STRs as NYC and Other NJ Towns Lock Them Out

4/6/2026

Hoboken, New Jersey, is emerging as a hotspot for short-term rentals as nearby areas like New York City and other New Jersey towns impose strict limits or bans. With few existing regulations, listings on platforms like Airbnb are increasing ahead of the FIFA World Cup, expected to draw more than 1 million visitors to the region. City officials are now drafting rules to regulate the market, including permits, taxes, and restrictions on rent-controlled units.
