Inglewood, CA Short-Term Rentals: Extended Home Share (2026)

Section 8-140 creates a narrower path than an ordinary short-term rental: the "vacation rental," a secondary property a long-established Inglewood owner can rent out. Eligibility requires the vacation rental to sit within 1,000 feet of the property line of the owner's primary residence, and the owner must have been an Inglewood resident for a minimum of 10 consecutive years, owned their current primary residence for at least 5 consecutive years, and owned the vacation rental property for at least 365 consecutive days before applying. Eligible property types are limited to single-family homes and condominiums (HOA-approved in writing where one exists), duplexes where the owner occupies one unit continuously and moved in before the other tenancy began, and buildings of two to four units where the owner's residence is established and continuous.

Only one unit per owner can qualify as a vacation rental, the unit must be vacant, and if the parcel holds more than one dwelling the owner's primary residence must be on that same property. A vacation rental may be rented up to ninety calendar days per year in blocks of thirty consecutive days or less, matching the unhosted cap, and remains valid only as long as the underlying short-term rental permit is valid. Owners of duplex or 2-4 unit buildings subject to Chapter 8, Articles 9 and 10 rent stabilization rules cannot operate as a vacation rental until the property is registered with the Housing Protection Department and all fees, fines and penalties are paid in full.
