Montebello has no primary-residence requirement for short-term rentals because it has no STR ordinance. Note that California accessory dwelling units cannot be rented for fewer than 30 days under state law.
No provision in the Montebello code conditions short-term renting on the property being the host's primary residence, since the city has not adopted an STR ordinance. There is therefore no owner-occupancy or primary-residence mandate in the local code. One firm limit applies by state law, not by Montebello ordinance: an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) may not be rented for a term shorter than 30 days (California Government Code section 66323). That prevents an ADU from being used as a short-term rental regardless of who occupies the main house. For other dwellings, hosts should confirm whether transient use is permitted in the applicable zone under Title 17, since it is not an enumerated permitted use.
Renting an ADU for fewer than 30 days conflicts with California Government Code section 66323; operating a transient use not permitted in the zone may be enforced under Title 17 zoning provisions.
