Hayward short-term rental operators must provide adequate off-street parking for guests and ensure guests do not violate the city street parking and permit parking rules.
Hayward zoning rules require residential properties to provide off-street parking, and short-term rentals must use these spaces to accommodate guests rather than displacing parking onto the street. Operators should inform guests of driveway and garage availability and warn against parking on lawns, blocking sidewalks, or violating any posted street sweeping or permit parking restrictions. Many Hayward neighborhoods have residential permit parking zones, and guest vehicles without valid permits can be ticketed. Commercial vehicle parking, overnight parking restrictions, and posted tow-away zones apply to guests the same as residents. Operators are expected to communicate these rules in house guides.
