New Richland Ch. 113 Housing § 113.25 establishes the framework for licensing, inspecting, and renting short-term vacation properties within the city. The rule applies specifically to private single-family dwellings, cabins, and condominiums rented for 30 days or fewer that provide basic amenities such as sleeping space, a toilet, and cooking facilities. Bed and breakfasts, resorts, campgrounds, hotels, motels, and accessory structures like boat houses, detached garages, sheds, and barns are explicitly excluded from this framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under New Richland Ch. 113 Housing § 113.25, operators of short-term vacation rentals generally ensure that the property being offered qualifies as a private single-family dwelling, cabin, or condominium with basic living accommodations — sleeping space, toilet, and cooking facilities — and that rentals do not exceed 30 days. Compliant operators do not attempt to register or rent accessory structures such as detached garages, sheds, boat houses, or barns as qualifying dwelling units. Because this subchapter establishes a licensing and inspection regime, operators typically obtain the required license and make the property available for any required inspections before accepting guests.

Tenants renting a short-term vacation property for 30 days or fewer in New Richland may want to confirm that the unit is a qualifying dwelling — a private single-family home, cabin, or condominium with sleeping, toilet, and cooking facilities — rather than an excluded structure like a shed or detached garage. Those with concerns about whether a rental property complies with § 113.25 can reach out to the appropriate New Richland municipal office or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
