There’s a lot more to short-term rentals than you might think.
Hosting lets homeowners earn extra income, helping them pay their mortgages, save for retirement, and have a financial safety net for all of life’s expenses.
Short-term rentals bring more visitors to Chapel Hill, keep tourism dollars here, and spread the economic benefit to local businesses throughout the community.
Homes provide an affordable, comfortable option for visitors with specific needs, such as UNC Hospitals patients and those who need to cook their meals.
See all the ways short-term rentals strengthen the fabric of Chapel Hill and communities like ours.
