Full Breakdown
PMC §19.81.130(b) states flatly that 'an ADU or JADU permitted by this chapter shall not be rented for periods of less than 31 days,' barring use of the unit as a nightly or weekly short-term rental. The restriction must be spelled out in the deed restriction recorded before the unit's building or grading permit issues under PMC §19.81.130(c), and it mirrors the minimum-term rule California imposes on ADUs under Government Code §66314(d)(1), subject to the narrow state-law exceptions in Government Code §66341. The rule applies citywide to every legally permitted ADU and JADU, regardless of zoning district.
Violations & Fines
Renting an ADU/JADU short-term violates both the recorded deed restriction and PMC §19.81.130(b); the city can pursue code enforcement under Ch. 19.78, with repeat violations within 12 months becoming a misdemeanor.
