Chicago Specific Services

Chicago, along with many other cities, has passed laws restricting which properties allow Vacation Rentals. When a property is identified that does allow a Vacation Rental, it can be just as difficult to get it approved and registered. Let us help you overcome these challenges, as we are very familiar with the city ordinances and regulations.
VRAM is a licensed short term rental operator in Chicago. This license is required for all individuals or entities managing more than 1 unit. Failure to have this license could result in fines of $1,500- $3,000 a day since you started hosting your Airbnb. No need to worry though, if we manage your listing you covered!
