Gardena home-sharing hosts must post a good-neighbor notice advising guests that city noise rules require reduced noise from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Chapter 5.76 rentals are for overnight lodging only, with no parties or events, and repeated noise or nuisance violations can lead to permit revocation.
Gardena Municipal Code Chapter 5.76 requires home-sharing hosts to comply with the city's noise standards, set out in the citywide noise ordinance (Chapter 8.36). The good-neighbor policy notice given to guests advises that city noise provisions require noise levels to be reduced from ten p.m. to seven a.m. Because a home share is limited to overnight lodging, it may not be used or advertised for weddings, parties, conferences, or similar events that generate disruptive noise. The host must live on site throughout each guest's stay, allowing direct supervision of conduct. Chapter 5.76 counts noise, nuisance-abatement, and emergency-response-fee violations toward revocation: three final violations of the chapter, noise, nuisance, emergency-response-fee, or building-code rules within a set period trigger automatic permit revocation.
Guest noise between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., or nuisance gatherings, can bring citations, emergency-response fees, and, after repeated final violations, revocation of the permit.
