Carson has no tiered Extended Home-Sharing permit (the way Los Angeles offers an Extended Home-Sharing tier under LAMC §12.22 A.32 to exceed the 120-night cap). Because Carson does not impose any night cap on short-term rentals in the first place, there is also no need for an extended-stay tier. The 30-day transient threshold in CMC §6400 is the only stay-length rule — at exactly 30 consecutive days the rental ceases to be 'transient' and falls outside the TOT and outside any landlord-tenant carve-outs for under-30-day lodging.
Carson's TOT ordinance (CMC §6400) defines 'transient' as occupancy under 30 consecutive calendar days; once a guest stays 30+ consecutive days, they cease to be transient, the TOT no longer applies, and California landlord-tenant law (including the AB 1482 rent cap under Civil Code §1946.2 and the just-cause framework) attaches. There is no permit, registration, or notice required to host stays beyond 30 days in Carson — those simply convert to a tenancy. Hosts who routinely accept guests crossing the 30-day threshold should issue a written rental agreement to clarify tenancy, comply with security deposit limits (Civil Code §1950.5), and observe AB 1482 just-cause termination rules where applicable (after 12 months continuous tenancy, or 24 months with separate adult occupants). For STR stays of 28-30 days, hosts should be cautious not to inadvertently create a tenancy by accepting a 30th overnight.
Not applicable to extended stays specifically. Mis-categorizing a 30+ day occupant as 'transient' to avoid landlord-tenant duties can expose operators to civil claims for wrongful eviction, return of double security deposit (Civil Code §1950.5(l)), and AB 1482 just-cause violations.
