Moreno Valley does not operate a citywide rental housing registration program for long-term rentals; landlords must comply with state law, business licensing for multi-unit operations, and short-term rental permits where applicable.
Unlike cities with dedicated rental inspection programs, Moreno Valley has no general mandatory rental housing registration for long-term (30+ day) residential rentals. Landlords still must comply with state habitability standards under Civil Code Section 1941.1, security deposit limits under Section 1950.5, and smoke/CO detector requirements under Health and Safety Code Sections 13113.7 and 17926. Owners of multi-family rental property typically need a city business tax certificate if they rent out more than a specified number of units or receive rental income above a threshold. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are regulated separately where permitted, requiring a permit and Transient Occupancy Tax registration. Complaint-driven inspections by Code Compliance apply to any rental where health, safety, or property maintenance issues are reported. Landlords must provide written notice of AB 1482 applicability or exemption in leases executed or renewed after July 1, 2020.
