About this file
The document is a Good Neighbor Guide for Renters issued by the City of Royal Oak, Michigan, designed to provide guidelines for short-term vacation rental occupants in residential neighborhoods. The guide outlines specific expectations and rules for renters, covering key areas such as noise restrictions (particularly after 10:00 p.m.), parking limitations, garbage disposal protocols, pet management, and event hosting. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining neighborhood peace and quiet, with clear warnings that failure to comply may result in notifications to local law enforcement and potential fines for both renters and property owners.
The guide is closely associated with the city's Short-Term Rental Management and Compliance Software Solution procurement opportunity, which seeks an electronic proposal solution to be submitted through the procurement portal by Wednesday, July 9, 2025. The city reserves the right to reject any proposals and select the most favorable option. While the document does not provide specific pricing details, it demonstrates the city's proactive approach to managing short-term rentals by establishing clear community standards and seeking technological solutions to support compliance and neighborhood harmony.

Good Neighbor Guide A Guide for Renters
Welcome to the City of Royal Oak. We hope you enjoy our beautiful community. During your visit, please remember that the vacation rental home where you are staying is in a residential neighborhood. Not everyone in the neighborhood is on vacation and many are required to rise early in the morning. To ensure our residents’ quiet and peaceful enjoyment of their neighborhood, we have established a “Good Neighbor Guide.” Please respect your neighbors and our city by following these guidelines. Failure to comply may result in neighborhood property owners notifying local law enforcement. This may result in fines for you and the property owner.
Noise Be considerate and respect your neighbors’ right to the quiet enjoyment of their home and property especially after 10:00 p.m. In addition, Ordinance Section 278-35 prohibits disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Violations may result in jail and/or fine.
Parking In some areas street parking is limited; please use your vacation home’s off-street parking whenever possible. If street parking is available, please engage in good neighbor practices by parking in front of your vacation home, being mindful not to block sidewalks, mailboxes, or driveways. Please ask your property owner/manager about alternative overnight parking lots that are available to help relieve parking congestion.
Garbage Pickup Garbage shall not be left in public view except in proper containers. The regularly scheduled garbage day is ________________. Please put your garbage out no sooner than the day before (preferably in the evening). Emptied garbage bins should be returned to their storage location as soon as possible after pickup and not remain at the curb overnight. Our ordinance prohibits storing refuse containers at the curb for more than 24 hours.
Pets All pets are required to be on leashes whenever they are in unenclosed areas or on public areas.
When walking your dogs, you are required to pick up and dispose of their waste. Please do not allow your pets to trespass on neighboring property. Pets should not be allowed to make loud and frequent noise that will disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood.
Events & Occupancy Large events such as family reunions, weddings or parties have a negative impact on residential neighborhoods due to parking and noise. Please check your vacation homes’ policies regarding events and day guests. Violations may result in immediate cancellation of your rental and potential charges for violating city ordinances.
