Eastvale, CA Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

Sec. 160(b) states flatly that 'no person shall undertake, maintain, authorize, aid, facilitate or advertise any short-term rental within the city,' which makes Eastvale one of the stricter Inland Empire cities on this topic: there's no permit application, no registration form and no path to legally operate one. The section defines a short-term rental in subsection (a)(2) as renting 'for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less any dwelling unit, the property on which it is located, or the use of the property on which it is located, in whole or in part, for transient use,' so the ban reaches whole-house rentals, room shares and rentals of just the yard or a portion of the property alike.

Because 'advertise' is explicitly listed alongside 'undertake' and 'facilitate,' simply posting an Eastvale address on a booking platform is itself a separate violation independent of whether a booking is ever completed. To enforce the ban, subsection (c)(4) lets the city issue administrative subpoenas to obtain listing information, including the responsible person's name, the listing address, length of stay and price paid, from booking platforms, though any subpoena must give 30 days before requiring the information and the recipient can seek judicial review during that window. The prohibition was adopted by Ordinance No. 21-02 in March 2021 and amended by Ordinance No. 04, rather than in the business licensing title.
