Generally Investor friendly
Lima allows short‑term rentals citywide with a free, online registration portal, keeping entry costs low, but it imposes guest‑number limits, occupancy caps, and a maximum‑days rule and requires compliance with building, fire and health codes, making permitting moderate and compliance a known but non‑trivial process.
