Tempe short-term rental market

Active short-term rentals

About 590

Avg. nightly rate

About $209

Peak season

Feb to Mar

More active rentals means more hosts who need a reliable turnover cleaner (Rabbu, April 2026).

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. Hosts see waves of arrivals around campus events, and event weekends and the academic calendar create tight turnovers, so cleaners who can switch quickly between short stays and larger group homes do well.

Why cleaners are working Tempe on Host Wingman

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.

Arizona State University

Move-in, football, graduation and parents weekends put a handful of very tight turnovers on the same dates each year.

Summer is the slow season

June is the quietest month, so plan around a clear in-season push.

Organized hosts

Tempe requires a license, neighbor notice and a 24-hour contact, so serious hosts value a dependable cleaner.

Tempe is home to Arizona State University, Tempe Town Lake and Mill Avenue. Spring training and winter visitors drive February and March, and the academic calendar adds sharp spikes.

Tempe is built around Arizona State University and Tempe Town Lake, so rentals serve football parents, graduation guests, conference attendees and visitors flying into Sky Harbor. Hosts see waves of arrivals around campus events, and cleaners who can switch quickly between short stays and larger group homes do well.

Local rules your Tempe hosts are working with

These apply to the host, not to you, but knowing them helps you understand what hosts ask of a cleaner. This is an overview, 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.
