Expanding locations in Chicago

[Anthony1658]

Does anyone know how to go about hosting more than one location in Chicago? I've been told by the city that I must live on the property in order to host. I have several properties throughout the city and would like to host in some of them.

I’m not sure if this answers your specific question or not, but it’s a start

@Anthony1658 I m not sure people are going to help you break the Chicago codes here. If the rules are as you say then you need to be living in the property you want to Airbnb and hence, as you are probably only allowed to live in one place for tax reasons, you will only be able to rent one place on Airbnb.

If the city have told you, you have to live in the property to be a host then obviously legally you won't be able to let more than one listing through STR @Anthony1658
