An Act amending Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for short-term rental of residential property.

HB 1256 establishes new regulations for short-term rentals (less than 30 consecutive days) of residential properties in Pennsylvania. It requires rental operators (property owners or management companies) to register with municipalities, comply with local health/safety rules, and be liable for tenant violations they knew about. The bill limits municipalities from blocking compliant rentals and sets fines up to $500 per day for non-registration, increasing to $1,000 for repeated violations. Third-party platforms like Airbnb must remove properties if courts find operators repeatedly violated laws, with owners able to sue platforms for noncompliance.
