Upland caps un-hosted short-term rental stays at a total of 120 days within a calendar year at the same dwelling, while hosted stays are not limited. A short-term rental is defined as 30 consecutive days or less, and a single unit may have only one group booking at a time. There is no separate citywide annual cap on hosted nights.
Upland sets a clear night cap structure under Chapter 17.23.1. Un-hosted stays — those where the host is off-site — are limited to a total of 120 days within a calendar year at the same dwelling unit. Hosted stays, where the host remains present, are not limited. The City's STR webpage summarizes this as un-hosted stays capped at 120 days per year. A short-term rental in Upland is generally a rental of not more than 30 consecutive days. Additionally, a single dwelling unit is limited to one group booking transaction at a time, so the property cannot be sub-divided among multiple simultaneous parties. Because the dwelling must remain the host's primary residence at all times, the 120-day un-hosted ceiling effectively limits how much of the year the home can operate as a remote rental, while still allowing unlimited hosted activity when the owner is present. These caps are set by Upland's ordinance and apply within city limits; unincorporated San Bernardino County administers its own separate STR night and stay limits.
Operating more than 120 un-hosted days in a calendar year at the same dwelling, or accepting more than one group booking at a time, violates STR permit conditions under Chapter 17.23.1. Hosts must keep records for three years documenting hosting dates, which the City may audit to verify compliance with the cap.
