Menifee Municipal Code does not mandate a specific liability insurance minimum for short-term rentals. Operators typically rely on platform coverage (Airbnb AirCover $1M / Vrbo $1M) plus a commercial-rated homeowner endorsement.
Menifee has not adopted a chapter requiring named liability minimums for STR operators (unlike cities such as Palm Springs or Sonoma County). The Development Code §9.300 only defines STRs; no insurance clause appears in the Municipal Code chapters publicly indexed. By default, California Insurance Code §675 and standard ISO HO-3 / HO-5 homeowner forms exclude 'business pursuits' — including frequent short-term rentals — so operators commonly need a commercial-rated endorsement (e.g., HO-7 short-term rental endorsement) or a dedicated dwelling/landlord policy. Airbnb's Host Liability Insurance and AirCover provide up to $1,000,000 in primary liability and damage coverage; Vrbo offers comparable Liability Insurance up to $1,000,000. HOA CC&Rs in Menifee master-planned communities (e.g., The Hills, Audie Murphy Ranch) may impose stricter insurance requirements regardless of city rules.
Failure to carry coverage is not a Menifee code violation, but uninsured guest injury claims fall on the owner personally. Lender mortgage clauses typically require landlord/dwelling fire and liability policies; lapse can trigger default.
