Summary
Eastvale requires any accessory dwelling unit rental to run longer than 30 days, banning short-term rental of an ADU outright, and separately bars selling or transferring an ADU or JADU apart from the main house under Municipal Code Section 120.04.010(f)(5)-(6).
The rental of an accessory dwelling unit shall be for a term longer than 30 days.(6)Except as otherwise provided in Government Code Section 66341, no ADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the primary residence. No junior accessory dwelling unit shall be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence. A deed restriction shall be recorded for an JADU containing the information required by Government Code Section 66333(c).

Full Breakdown
160. Subsection (f)(6) adds a second, permanent restriction: except as allowed under Government Code Section 66341, 'no ADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the primary residence,' and a JADU carries the identical prohibition. To make that restriction enforceable long after the original permit is issued, the code requires a deed restriction to be recorded for a JADU containing the information Government Code Section 66333(c) specifies, so a title search on the property will surface the restriction for any future buyer or lender.
Together the two subsections mean an Eastvale ADU functions as long-term housing stock tied permanently to its parcel: it cannot be marketed like a vacation rental, and it cannot become a separate piece of real property sold off from the primary home, protecting the single-family character the intent clause in subsection (a) describes.
Violations & Fines
Renting an ADU for stays of 30 days or less, or attempting to sell or convey an ADU or JADU separately from the primary residence, violates Section 120.04.010(f)(5)-(6) and the recorded deed restriction, exposing the owner to code enforcement action and the general penalties in Section 1.01.200, plus potential ADU permit revocation under Section 120.01.090.
