Lynwood has no primary-residence rule for short-term rentals because STRs are not a permitted use at all. The zoning code allows no nightly rental of a home whether or not the owner lives there.
There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement for short-term rentals in the Lynwood Municipal Code, because the code does not permit STRs in the first place. Chapter 25 Appendix A lists no vacation-rental or short-term-rental use in any district, and its legend states unlisted uses are prohibited. The one residential lodging use, bed and breakfast, is allowed only in R-3 by conditional use permit, and its Chapter 25 definition requires the operator to live on the premises or adjacent premises. For state law, a permitted accessory dwelling unit cannot be rented for periods shorter than 30 days under California Government Code Section 66323, reinforcing that nightly rental of a second unit is barred regardless of residency.
Renting a residence for transient stays is a zoning violation regardless of owner occupancy; ADU short-term rental is prohibited by Gov. Code Section 66323.
