Corona FAQ
Can I rent my Corona house out 365 nights a year?
Generally not as a whole-home STR. Most permit conditions cap annual whole-home rental nights well below 365. Hosted rentals (owner-occupied) face fewer or no annual caps.
Do month-long Corona rentals count against my STR night cap?
No. Bookings of 30 or more consecutive days are treated as long-term tenancies, exempt from TOT and from the STR night cap, but they create tenant rights that don't apply to short stays.
Menifee FAQ
How many nights per year can I rent my Menifee STR?
Menifee has no annual cap. You can operate year-round as long as you comply with business licensing, TOT, noise, and parking rules.
Is there a hosted/unhosted distinction?
No. Menifee Development Code §9.300 does not separate owner-occupied from non-owner-occupied STRs.
Can my HOA limit my rental nights?
Yes. CC&Rs are enforceable under Civ. Code §5975 and commonly limit or prohibit STRs in master-planned communities like Audie Murphy Ranch.
