Palm Springs, CA Accessory Structures: ADU Rental Restrictions (2026)

14(E)(4) sets a flat 30-day minimum rental term for every accessory dwelling unit and junior accessory dwelling unit in the city, and the subsection specifies the prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created, closing the rule to units built before it took effect. The restriction sits alongside two other rental-related controls in the same section. 5, No Separate Conveyance, allows an ADU or JADU to be rented but forbids selling or otherwise conveying it apart from the lot and primary dwelling, except as allowed under Government Code § 66341.

2 on housing-site inventories. 8 also requires a recorded deed restriction confirming the unit cannot be sold separately and is limited to its approved size, filed with the director before a certificate of occupancy issues. Together these provisions mean an owner cannot list a Palm Springs ADU or JADU on a short-term platform for stays under 30 nights, cannot spin the unit off as a separate saleable property, and must document actual rental income annually or face enforcement.
