Riverside County Ordinance 927 defines short-term rentals as stays of fewer than thirty consecutive days. Bookings of thirty days or longer are treated as ordinary rental tenancies and fall under California landlord-tenant law rather than the county STR program.
When a guest signs a single contract for thirty or more consecutive nights at a Riverside County property, the unit is no longer regulated as a short-term rental. The booking becomes a residential tenancy subject to California Civil Code rules on notices to quit, security deposits, and habitability. Costa-Hawkins still exempts most single-family detached homes from local rent caps, but AB 1482 statewide rent and just-cause protections may apply once the tenant has occupied the unit for twelve months. STR certificate holders must track stay length carefully to avoid inadvertently creating a regulated tenancy.
Misclassifying a long-stay tenant as an STR guest can expose the owner to wrongful-eviction claims and AB 1482 statutory damages.
