What is short term rental?

In Riverside, California, short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as vacation rentals, are legal but subject to strict regulations enforced by the Riverside County Planning Department. Property owners must register for a Short-Term Rental Certificate, providing essential contact details and adhering to occupancy limits and noise monitor requirements. Violation of these rules can lead to fines of up to $5,000. The types of properties that thrive include urban apartments and single-family homes, appealing to both tourists and business travelers due to Riverside's proximity to attractions like the Riverside Arts and Entertainment District and various conventions. The local market typically caters more to tourists, especially during peak seasons and local events. For additional details on regulations, visit the Riverside County's official resources on short-term rentals at Short-Term Rentals and Short Term Vacation Rentals.
