Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding limitations on the regulation of short-term rentals.
This bill aims to balance the private property rights of homeowners and short-term rental (STR) owners. It would prevent cities and counties from adopting STR-specific ordinances, except for basic safety requirements such as providing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and escape tools, and emergency information. It would also prohibit local governments from requiring business licenses unless the rentals are owned by professional investors who operate four or more STRs in the same jurisdiction or a rental generates greater than $10,000 per year.
