Airbnb Hosts Can Rent All Year Under Rules Passed By LA Planning Commission
The Los Angeles Planning Commission approved a set of guidelines for Airbnb and other short-term rentals Thursday that would allow qualified hosts to rent year round, something industry advocates have been pleading for over the past several years. Under the proposed ordinance, renters would be initially capped at being able to rent all or some of their primary residence for 120 days, but would be allowed to rent for 365 days by petitioning for more time and meeting certain criteria, including that the property has not been the subject of any recent nuisance violations.
