Jurupa Valley sets no guest-count or bedroom-based occupancy limits for short-term rentals because the use is banned entirely. JVMC 4.15.020(B) even makes it unlawful for a guest to occupy a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days under a paid rental arrangement.
Cities that permit short-term rentals typically cap occupancy at two guests per bedroom plus two, or similar formulas. Jurupa Valley has no such schedule because Ordinance No. 2023-10 prohibits the use altogether. The operative occupancy rule is the 30-day floor in JVMC 4.15.015(A) and 4.15.020: any rental of a dwelling, in whole or in part, for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for less than 30 consecutive days is unlawful. Notably, the prohibition runs against guests as well as hosts - JVMC 4.15.020(B) makes it unlawful to occupy a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days pursuant to a rental agreement, lease, license or any other means, whether oral or written, for compensation or consideration. Rentals of 30 consecutive days or more fall outside the chapter and are governed by ordinary state landlord-tenant law, which does not impose city occupancy caps beyond the habitability standards of the California Health and Safety Code.
A guest who occupies a dwelling for less than 30 days under a paid arrangement, like the host who rents it, commits an infraction punishable under JVMC 1.15.010 that may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor, and may receive administrative citations of $200, $500, then $1,000 under JVMC Chapter 1.20.
