New Orleans Short Term Rental Classes Announced for June Application Period

To obtain a permit to run a short term rental in New Orleans, the new laws require that you take an online class provided by the New Orleans Short Term Rental Administration.  With the next application period just around the corner, from June 1st through 7th, 2024, the STR Administration as published its schedule of classes.  These trainings will take place online via Microsoft Teams on May 21, 23, 28 & 30 at 11am. You can register for a training session through the links below:

May 21 @ 11am

May 23 @ 11am

May 28 @ 11am

May 30 @ 11am

Key points about these classes:

• If you are applying for an NSTR License during the next application period (June 1-7), you MUST attend one of these trainings.
• If you have a valid NSTR License that expires on June 30, 2025, you DO NOT have to attend a training.
• If you are a NEW Operator, you MUST attend a training. 
• Someone else operating your Airbnb rental?
  If you own a short term rental and you are planning to have a different person be the onsite operator, we recommend that both the owner and the operator register for and attend one of these classes.   See N.O. Ord. Sec. 26-617(c)(9) (requiring the course for the NSTR owner permit); Sec. 26-619(b)(6) (requiring the course for an NSTR operator);
