In unincorporated Los Angeles County, the short-term rental host need not be physically onsite, but the property must be the host's primary residence and unhosted stays are capped at 30 nights per calendar year under Title 22.140.290.
Title 22.140.290 of the LA County zoning code, enacted by Ordinance 2022-0007, regulates short-term rentals in unincorporated areas such as Marina del Rey, Topanga, Altadena, and East LA. The host is not required to sleep onsite during paid stays, but the dwelling must be the host's primary residence and the host must hold a valid Department of Regional Planning home-sharing permit. Unhosted rentals where the host is offsite are limited to 30 nights per calendar year. Hosted stays where the host remains in another bedroom face no annual cap. All operators must collect Transient Occupancy Tax under Title 4.72. Incorporated cities including West Hollywood and Long Beach apply their own rules.
Operating without a permit, exceeding the 30-night unhosted cap, or renting a non-primary residence triggers fines up to 1,000 dollars per day, permit revocation, and platform delisting under Title 22.140.290(I).
