Stays longer than 30 consecutive days fall outside Sacramento's STR ordinance and into landlord-tenant law, including AB 1482 rent caps and the Sacramento Tenant Protection Act, regardless of furnishing or platform.
Sacramento's STR rules under Title 5 Chapter 5.114 apply only to stays of 30 nights or fewer. Once a guest stays 31 or more consecutive nights, the relationship is treated as a tenancy under California Civil Code, triggering AB 1482 statewide rent caps (about 5% plus CPI), eviction protections under the Sacramento Tenant Protection & Relief Act (Title 5 Chapter 5.156), and security-deposit rules. Hosts marketing furnished medium-term stays should use month-to-month leases, collect deposits per Civil Code 1950.5, and avoid abrupt non-renewals that may trigger just-cause obligations.
Treating a 30-plus-day occupant as a hotel guest, attempting unilateral lockouts, or refusing required notices can trigger civil penalties, wrongful eviction claims, and tenant attorney's fees.
