Lake Elsinore's Chapter 5.86 sets NO annual night cap or maximum rental days for short-term rentals. A licensed rental may operate year-round; the only night figures are the under-30-day definition of a stay and a one-night minimum, with the permit expiring each December 31.
Chapter 5.86 imposes no annual cap on nights or days a licensed rental may operate, and draws no hosted-versus-unhosted distinction. A licensed owner may rent year-round as long as the business license stays valid. The only duration figures are definitional and minimum-stay: a short-term rental is occupancy under 30 consecutive days (LEMC 5.86.020), and guests may not stay longer than 30 consecutive days (LEMC 5.86.090(D)) - a single-stay ceiling, not an annual cap. The owner must require a minimum stay of at least one night (LEMC 5.86.090(K)). The controlling time limit is the permit term: a permit is valid only until December 31 of the year issued and must be renewed annually (LEMC 5.86.080).
There is no night-cap violation in Lake Elsinore because no annual limit exists. Enforcement instead targets a single stay over 30 consecutive days (LEMC 5.86.090(D)), stays under the one-night minimum, or an expired license, which can lead to revocation.
