Jurupa Valley, CA Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Many cities that permit STRs set per-bedroom or overall-headcount limits (commonly 2 per bedroom plus 2). Jurupa Valley does not, because the underlying activity is prohibited. Code Section 4.15.015(A) defines a short-term rental as the rental of a dwelling in whole or in part by an owner or lessee to another person or group for occupancy, dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes for less than 30 consecutive days. The definition expressly excludes city-approved hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts, community care facilities, social care facilities, single-room occupancy facilities, farmworker housing, emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing, and low-barrier navigation centers — those uses follow their own occupancy rules under California Building Code Title 24 and Health & Safety Code provisions. "Home-sharing" is defined in Section 4.15.015(D) as renting a room in a primary residence while the owner is present, but the ordinance prohibits home-sharing on a less-than-30-day basis as well: any rental of part of a dwelling under 30 days is unlawful under Section 4.15.020(A)-(B). Long-term rentals of 30 days or more are not regulated by Chapter 4.15 and follow general housing law, including California's AB 1482 rent caps under Civil Code §1947.12 and just-cause eviction under §1946.2.
