What short-term rental rules matter for temporary plans? (Duke University)

DIRECT ANSWER

Source guidance recorded on 2026-08-29. Confirm the applicable policy year, cohort and property jurisdiction before relying on time-sensitive facts.

Durham's current UDO distinguishes household living on a month-to-month or longer basis from 'Overnight Accommodations' involving stays of less than 30 days. Short-stay legality therefore depends on the property's zoning/use permissions and applicable limited-use standards; the current UDO use table must be checked rather than assuming ordinary household-living authorization covers nightly stays.
