Kennett Square Caps Short-Term Rentals | Philadelphia News

Kennett Square is cracking down on short-term rentals like Airbnbs, capping them at just 20 and banning entire single-family homes from being used as vacation spots — a move sparked by explosive population growth and skyrocketing housing costs. The unanimous council vote responds to furious resident complaints about neighborhoods turning into tourist zones, with existing rentals allowed to stay for now but subject to strict rules: no new rentals unless they’re accessory units, and owners must live on-site. The goal? To preserve affordable housing for locals in a town where demand outpaces supply and home prices are through the roof.
