Glendale's home-sharing ordinance (Ord. 5941) sets occupancy standards for STRs. Vacation rentals (un-hosted) are prohibited. Only hosted home-sharing is allowed where the host resides on-site during the guest stay.
Glendale regulates short-term rental occupancy to prevent overcrowding and nuisance complaints. Maximum occupancy is typically set at 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional guests, though local codes vary. Rental listings must accurately state maximum occupancy. Hosts are responsible for ensuring guest compliance. Exceeding occupancy limits may result in permit revocation. Sleeping in garages, tents, or vehicles on the property is generally prohibited.
First offense: warning. Repeated overcrowding: fines of $250 to $1,000. Permit suspension or revocation for chronic violations.
