Stays of 31 or more consecutive nights fall outside Long Beach STR rules and statewide TOT, operating instead as residential tenancies subject to landlord-tenant law including AB 1482 once the tenant accrues sufficient occupancy.
Long Beach STR Ordinance LBMC 5.65 and California transient occupancy tax frameworks apply only to stays of fewer than thirty-one nights. Bookings of thirty-one or more consecutive nights are residential tenancies, not transient lodging, meaning no STR registration is required for that booking, but the host becomes a residential landlord subject to civil code, fair-housing rules, security-deposit caps, and after twelve months of continuous occupancy the just-cause and rent-cap protections of California AB 1482 and Civil Code section 1946.2.
Treating a long-term tenant as a transient guest, attempting summary lockouts, or skipping AB 1482 disclosures may trigger wrongful eviction claims, statutory damages, and Long Beach Tenant Helpline complaints.
