Thousand Oaks FAQ

Can I rent my Thousand Oaks ADU on Airbnb?

No. State law and TOMC Title 9 require ADU rentals to be for terms longer than 30 days, which effectively prohibits typical short-term rental platform use. JADUs additionally have a recorded deed restriction barring STR use.

Does the California Tenant Protection Act apply to a Thousand Oaks ADU?

Yes — long-term ADU tenancies are governed by AB 1482 (Civ. Code §§1946.2 and 1947.12), which caps annual rent increases and requires just cause for eviction once the tenant has been in place at least 12 months, subject to limited single-family/ADU exemptions that depend on a specific lease notice.
