Property management in Chicago.

• Every short-term rental needs a city registration (Shared Housing Unit registration from the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection), and the registration number has to appear on every listing.
• In buildings with one to four units, the host generally has to live there, and only one unit per building can be registered.
• In buildings with five or more units, owners don't have to live on site, but only a limited share of the units can be registered.
• Some buildings are on the city's Prohibited Buildings List, and a growing number of precincts have voted to restrict new rentals.
• Stays of 32 nights or more aren't short-term rentals under the ordinance.
• Suburbs differ: Skokie doesn't allow new investor-owned short-term rentals; Forest Park is still studying an ordinance.
