Davis requires residential rentals to register under the Rental Resources Program (Municipal Code Article 18.11). Owners living more than 50 miles away must list a local contact who can act for the owner.
Davis Municipal Code Article 18.11 (Residential Rental Dwelling Units, Registration and Inspection) requires owners to register single-family and multi-family rental units with the city's Rental Resources Program before renting. Registration collects owner and manager contact information and must be updated when that information changes. Under Section 18.11.030, an owner who lives more than 50 miles from Davis must designate a local contact or property manager living within 50 miles who has full authority to act for the owner; that contact cannot be a tenant. Because a short-term rental is a rental of 30 days or less, these registration rules apply unless the unit is owner-occupied and otherwise exempt. Verify current forms and any exemptions with the Rental Resources Program.
Renting an unregistered dwelling, or failing to maintain a qualified within-50-mile local contact, may result in code-enforcement action and penalties under Article 18.11.
