Under Gardena Municipal Code Chapter 5.76, home-sharing occupancy is capped at four people per rented bedroom, and only bedrooms, not the entire dwelling, may be rented. The rental is for overnight lodging only and may not host weddings, parties, conferences, or similar events.
Gardena Municipal Code Chapter 5.76 limits home-sharing occupancy to a maximum of four people per bedroom. Only bedrooms in the host's primary residence may be rented; renting the entire dwelling short-term is prohibited. The application must identify the number of bedrooms to be home-shared. A home share is for overnight lodging only and may not be used or advertised for weddings, parties of any kind, conferences, or similar events. Because the host lives on site in a bedroom throughout each stay, the host occupies part of the residence at all times. These restrictions protect the residential character of Gardena's neighborhoods and limit nuisances from larger gatherings. Guests must also comply with the good-neighbor and quiet-hours conditions of the permit.
Exceeding four people per bedroom, renting the whole dwelling, or hosting a prohibited event can lead to citation and revocation of the home-sharing permit.
