Bookings of thirty-one consecutive days or longer fall outside the SBC short-term rental program and are treated as standard residential tenancies subject to AB 1482 statewide rent and eviction protections.
San Bernardino County defines a short-term rental as a stay of thirty consecutive days or fewer. Once a single guest stays thirty-one or more days, the arrangement converts into a residential tenancy under California law. AB 1482's just-cause eviction and annual rent-cap rules can apply to that tenant after twelve months. Hosts who routinely book month-plus stays through STR platforms should screen guests, use written leases, and avoid unintentionally creating tenancies that trigger statewide tenant protections.
Treating a thirty-one-day-plus tenant as a transient guest and using lockouts or self-help eviction violates California unlawful-detainer law and exposes hosts to significant damages.
