Airbnbs in unincorporated areas will see tighter regulations after approved ordinance

Following the county’s crackdown on short-term rentals, Airbnbs in unincorporated areas will now adhere to new regulations.

On March 19, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave preliminary approval to regulations for operating short-term rentals in unincorporated areas.

The new regulation restricts short-term house rentals to the operator’s primary residence.

 

Under the ordinance, hosts are prohibited from listing second homes, guesthouses, accessory dwelling units, or investment properties in unincorporated LA County. Also, hosts must register and pay an annual fee of $914.

Such measures are designed to facilitate the return of housing to the market.

These regulations only apply to unincorporated areas, avoiding conflicts with existing rules in individual cities.
