Anaheim requires a minimum 3-night stay for all short-term rentals under AMC Chapter 4.05. This policy reduces frequent turnover and party-related disturbances in residential neighborhoods near Disneyland Resort.
AMC Chapter 4.05 requires all short-term rental operators to enforce a minimum 3-night stay per booking. This minimum was established to prevent single-night party rentals that had been disrupting residential neighborhoods, particularly those near the Disneyland Resort area. The 3-night minimum applies to all 277 permitted STR properties in Anaheim. Operators must verify guest stays meet the minimum through their booking platforms. Repeat violations of the minimum stay requirement may result in permit review and potential revocation. The city monitors STR listings for compliance with the minimum night requirement. Platform partners (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) should be configured to enforce the 3-night minimum. Bookings for fewer than 3 nights are prohibited. The minimum stay requirement works alongside other operational rules including the 24/7 local contact requirement and noise regulations.
Renting for less than 3 nights: permit violation. Repeat violations: permit suspension or revocation. Operating unpermitted STR: fines up to $1,000/day.
