Lynwood has no short-term rental registration. The only lodging registry is the motel/hotel guest-register rule in Section 3-31, which applies to commercial hotels and motels, not to nightly rentals of houses or apartments.
No section of the Lynwood Municipal Code establishes registration for short-term or vacation rentals. Section 3-31 (Motel/Hotel Occupancy), added by Ord. 1623-A, requires operators of motels and hotels to keep a guest register with each guest's name, a copy of valid identification such as a California driver's license, and vehicle plate information. That chapter defines motel/hotel broadly as structures offering lodging for compensation and reaches only uses zoned as hotels or motels under a conditional use permit. Chapter 21 creates a Multi-Unit Residential Rental Property Registry for long-term apartment buildings, an inspection program, not an STR registry. A separately zoned residential home has no registration path for nightly rental because that use is not permitted.
Motel/hotel operators failing to keep the required guest register under Section 3-31 face penalties up to $1,000 or six months jail; residential STR use is barred by zoning.
