Rentals of 30 or more consecutive days in Lincoln are treated as residential tenancies, not transient lodging. Statewide AB 1482 (Civ. Code §1946.2 just-cause eviction and §1947.12 5%+CPI rent cap, max 10%) applies to qualifying units, and local zoning treats the use as ordinary residential occupancy of the dwelling.
California Revenue & Taxation Code §7280 and most local TOT ordinances define 'transient' as occupancy of less than 30 days, so a rental of 30+ days falls outside both transient-lodging zoning categories and STR rules. The use becomes a residential tenancy governed by: (a) AB 1482 (Civ. Code §§1946.2, 1947.12) - just-cause eviction protections and a rent cap of CPI+5% (10% maximum) for units more than 15 years old that are not single-family homes held by individual owners (Civ. Code §1947.12(d)(5) exemption); (b) California Civil Code §§1940-1954 landlord-tenant statutes; and (c) the standard zoning treatment of the property's residential use under LMC Title 18. A homeowner offering an extended home-share (e.g., 30-90-day corporate housing) needs a business license under LMC Ch. 5.04 if operating commercially, but is not subject to transient-lodging zoning restrictions. Furnished long-term rentals must comply with state habitability standards (Civ. Code §1941.1).
AB 1482 violations are enforced through unlawful detainer defenses and civil actions; non-compliant rent increases are void to the extent they exceed the cap (Civ. Code §1947.12(g)). Habitability violations are enforced through local code enforcement and tenant remedies. Operating without a business license under LMC Ch. 5.04 is a misdemeanor under LMC §1.16.010.
