Jurupa Valley, CA Short-Term Rentals: Night Caps (2026)

Cap-style rules common in California (Los Angeles' 120-night home-sharing cap, San Diego's tier-2 license caps, Santa Monica's hosted-only requirement) do not apply in Jurupa Valley because the City chose outright prohibition. Code Section 4.15.005 (Legislative findings) explains that the City Council concluded STRs deplete affordable housing supply, generate parking, noise, and trash complaints, and compromise neighborhood safety by providing transient access to residential buildings. Section 4.15.020 implements that finding with a flat ban: it is unlawful to (A) offer or make available a dwelling for rent for less than 30 consecutive days, (B) occupy a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days under a rental agreement, or (C) maintain any advertisement of a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days. There is no "x nights per year" allowance. Section 4.15.015(B) defines advertisement broadly to include newspaper, billboard, verbal or written announcements, email, digital messaging, or any internet website platform — so even unlisted nights count if the property remains listed online. The minimum lawful stay is 30 consecutive days, which is the line California law generally uses to separate transient occupancy from residential tenancy (see Civil Code §1940 and Revenue & Taxation Code §7280 TOT framework).
