Even hosted home-sharing - renting a spare room while the owner lives on site - is prohibited in Jurupa Valley. Ordinance No. 2023-10 bans rental of a dwelling in whole OR in part for under 30 days, regardless of whether the host is present.
Many California cities ban whole-home vacation rentals but allow hosted home-sharing. Jurupa Valley does not. JVMC 4.15.015(D) defines home-sharing as an accessory use of a primary residence, such as making a room or part of a room available for rent in a primary residence while the owner or leaseholder resides in the unit during the guest's stay. The prohibition in JVMC 4.15.020, however, applies to the rental of a dwelling 'in whole or in part' for less than 30 consecutive days, so renting a single room to a paying guest for a weekend is just as unlawful as renting the entire house, whether or not the host remains on site. The ordinance's title - 'relating to the prohibition of short-term rentals and the requirements for home-sharing businesses' - and the Planning Division's announcement confirm the City Council's intent to prohibit 'Short-Term Rentals and Home-Sharing Businesses in all zones throughout Jurupa Valley.' The 2023 staff report listed prohibiting 'short-term rentals or home sharing on a short-term basis' as an express objective of the zoning code amendment (ZCA22004).
Hosted room rentals under 30 days carry the same penalties as whole-home rentals: public nuisance abatement, infraction or misdemeanor prosecution, and administrative fines of $200, $500 and $1,000 per separate event under JVMC 4.15.030 and Chapter 1.20.
