Short-term rental properties in Simi Valley must comply with enhanced noise and nuisance standards. Guests and operators are responsible for ensuring rental activity does not disturb neighboring residents, with strict quiet hours and occupancy-related noise limits.
STR permit holders in Simi Valley must post house rules prominently in the rental unit including quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM. Outdoor gatherings and amplified music are prohibited after 10 PM. The designated local contact must respond to noise complaints within 30 minutes and take corrective action. STR operators are jointly liable for guest noise violations. The city treats three or more verified noise complaints within a 12-month period as grounds for permit review and potential revocation.
