Inglewood, CA Short-Term Rentals: Insurance Requirements (2026)

) that carries equal or greater coverage on the host's behalf. The insurance duty sits alongside other permit conditions in the same section, including registering the property, remitting transient occupancy tax under Article 8 of Chapter 9, abating nuisance activity within one hour, limiting guest street parking to one vehicle per booking, and posting evacuation and trash-removal notices for guests. Permits are valid for one year and must be renewed by filing a renewal application (Section 8-141(22)); the non-refundable fee for both initial and renewal applications is set in the City's Master Fee Schedule (Section 8-141(26)).

Because the insurance condition is a permit requirement rather than a standalone offense, the City enforces it through the permit process itself: an inspector confirming a lapse in coverage treats it as a violation of any provision under this Article, which is a listed ground for the City Manager or designee to deny, suspend, or revoke the permit under Section 8-142(3)(b). A denial, suspension, or revocation takes effect fifteen calendar days after the City mails notice of intent, giving the host a window to restore coverage or appeal.
