Moreno Valley FAQ

Riverside FAQ

Is my STR hosted or unhosted?

Hosted means the owner stays on-site during the guest's booking; unhosted means the whole property is rented without the owner present. Classification affects night caps and zoning.

Can I switch to a boarding house to avoid the cap?

Boarding-house conversion requires a separate land-use entitlement and is not permitted in all residential zones. Consult Planning before relying on this option.
