Daly City's STR ordinance applies only to stays of 30 consecutive days or less. Any longer stay falls outside DCMC Chapter 5.92 and instead becomes a residential tenancy subject to California state law including AB 1482 just-cause and rent caps. Hosted home-shares within 30 days are unlimited; un-hosted shares are capped at 100 days/year.
Under DCMC Chapter 5.92, a 'short-term rental' is any rental of a home or room within a home for 30 consecutive days or less. A booking that runs longer than 30 consecutive days is not a short-term rental for Daly City purposes - it is treated as a residential tenancy and falls under state landlord-tenant law, including California's AB 1482 Tenant Protection Act (5% + CPI rent cap and just-cause eviction for covered units), Civil Code 1946.2, and the California Civil Code unlawful detainer framework. Within the STR window, an 'extended' hosted home-share (host remains on premises) has no day-count limit and may run year-round subject to the standard guest cap (two per bedroom plus two extra), the one-booking-per-day rule, the 24/7 local contact requirement, and TOT remittance under DCMC Chapter 3.32. Un-hosted long bookings still count toward the 100-day annual cap.
If a 'home-share' exceeds 30 consecutive days it is not covered by the STR permit - the host is instead exposed to AB 1482 just-cause protections and cannot terminate the tenancy at will. Conversely, structuring back-to-back STR bookings beyond the 100-day un-hosted cap or chaining bookings to avoid tenancy law can trigger Code Enforcement action under Chapter 5.92. Failure to remit TOT for any covered stay is enforced under DCMC Chapter 3.32.
