Tempe's short-term rental market moves fast
Spring training and winter visitors
February and March carry the year, with March strongest. Cactus League baseball, snowbirds and spring break fill rentals before the summer heat hits.
Arizona State University
ASU brings move-in, football, graduation and parents weekends, so a handful of very tight turnover windows land on the same dates each year.
Summer is the slow season
June is the quietest month, so hosts plan around a clear in-season push and a long summer lull.
A license and neighbor notice are required
Tempe requires a short-term rental license per unit, written notice to neighbors and a 24-hour emergency contact, so serious hosts tend to be organized.
A host's guide to Tempe turnovers
Tempe sits just east of Phoenix and is home to Arizona State University, Tempe Town Lake, Mill Avenue and Sun Devil Stadium. Visitors come for spring training, concerts, ASU events and as a base for the Valley's golf and hiking.
Rentals include condos and apartments near Mill Avenue and the lake, townhomes and houses in older neighborhoods near campus. Event weekends and the academic calendar create tight turnovers, so cleaners who are flexible and fast are the ones hosts keep.
What a Tempe turnover usually includes
- Stripping and remaking every bed with fresh linens, and restocking towels in each bathroom
- Cleaning bathrooms top to bottom, including shower glass, grout and drains
- Cleaning the kitchen, running the dishwasher and clearing the fridge of guest leftovers
- Vacuuming and mopping all floors
- Wiping desert dust from sills, blinds, patio furniture and door tracks
- Cleaning after game-day or concert crowds, including extra trash and floors
- Checking AC and filters, since guests notice a warm unit quickly
- Restocking supplies and following your access routine, such as a lockbox or smart lock
- Taking after-clean photos so you can see the finished place without being there
Rules to check before you host in Tempe
Short-term rental rules in the Tempe area depend on where the property is and what kind of building it is. This is general information, not legal advice.
- Tempe requires a short-term rental license for each unit rented for less than 30 days, renewed annually. Applicants need an Arizona TPT license, county assessor registration and liability insurance.
- Owners must name an emergency contact with a 24-hour phone number and notify neighbors in writing after approval. The license number must appear in every listing.
- The city enforces nuisance party rules, and owners can face penalties for repeated verified violations or running without a license.
- Arizona state law limits what cities can ban, but hosts generally need a transaction privilege tax (TPT) license, county assessor registration, and the license number in every listing.
- HOA rules and lease terms can still restrict rentals.
Rules change often. Confirm current requirements with the City of Tempe, the Arizona Department of Revenue and your HOA.
