ADUs and JADUs in Chino may NOT be rented for terms shorter than 30 days. This is mandated by Cal. Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(6) statewide and reinforced by Chino's citywide short-term rental ban under Title 20 Zoning. STRs are not a permitted use in any Chino residential zone, with enforcement penalties reported at up to $1,000/day.
Cal. Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(6) prohibits any ADU rental for less than 30 days; this preempts any contrary local rule and applies in Chino. In addition, Chino's Title 20 Zoning Code does not list short-term rentals as a permitted use in any residential zone, effectively prohibiting STR/vacation-rental operation of an ADU or JADU citywide. ADU long-term rentals (30+ days) are permitted and subject to AB 1482 (Cal. Civ. Code §1947.12) rent cap of 5% + CPI annually (max 10%) where applicable. JADUs require owner occupancy of either the primary residence or the JADU per Gov. Code §65852.22(a)(2).
Operating an ADU as a vacation rental violates state law and Chino zoning. The city's STR enforcement program has been documented to impose penalties up to $1,000/day. Civil and administrative penalties apply, plus potential abatement.
