Hosted short-term rentals in San Leandro are capped at 180 calendar days per permit term or year. Portions of a day count as a full day toward the cap.
SLMC §4-40-130 limits hosted short-term rentals to a total of 180 calendar days per permit term or per calendar year. The City counts partial days as full days, so a check-out on day 181 still counts that day. The cap applies to the dwelling unit collectively, not per guest or per platform — combined nights across Airbnb, Vrbo, and any other listing platforms count toward the same 180-day ceiling. Because non-hosted rentals are banned (Chapter 4-41), there is no separate unhosted-night cap to track. Once a host hits 180 days, no further STR activity is permitted until the next permit term. Hosts must keep records sufficient to demonstrate compliance and report nights to the City as required.
Renting beyond 180 days is a permit violation that can result in permit revocation under §4-40-130. Continued unlicensed operation triggers the $1,000 per-violation fine schedule and possible criminal prosecution under Chapter 4-41.
