Redondo Beach has no host-presence or on-site-operator requirement for short-term rentals because STRs are prohibited. Neither hosted nor unhosted transient rentals are allowed in residential zones under the zoning code.
Cities that permit STRs sometimes require the host to be present during a guest stay or to designate a local 24-hour contact. Redondo Beach has neither rule because it does not allow short-term rentals at all in residential zones. Under RBMC 10-2.402(a), lodging of thirty (30) consecutive days or less is hotel/motel use, and RBMC 10-2.501 and 10-2.511 do not list that use as permitted, so both hosted (owner-present) and unhosted (whole-home) short-term rentals are prohibited. There is consequently no requirement for an on-site host, a local responsible-party contact, or a complaint-response time window tied to an STR, because no STR permits are issued. Any claim that Redondo Beach requires a host or local contact for short-term rentals is unverified
Whether or not a host is present, the transient use is prohibited and subject to code enforcement and loss of any associated business license.
