Montebello sets no annual night cap on short-term rentals because it has no STR ordinance. The only day-based threshold in code is the 30-day transient definition that triggers the transient occupancy tax.
The Montebello code contains no limit on the number of nights per year a property may be rented short-term, and no cap distinguishing hosted from unhosted stays, because the city has no STR ordinance. The single day-count that matters is the definition of transient in MMC 3.40.020: a person occupying for 30 consecutive days or less is a transient, and that occupancy is subject to transient occupancy tax under Chapter 3.40. There is no maximum number of bookings, no seasonal limit, and no total-nights ceiling in the code. Because transient rental is not an enumerated permitted use in the residential zones, confirm with the Planning Division whether the use is allowed before relying on the absence of a night cap.
No night-cap violation exists because the code sets no cap; enforcement instead depends on zoning permissibility under Title 17 and transient occupancy tax compliance under Chapter 3.40.
