Existing law authorizes a city legislative body to impose fines, penalties, and forfeitures for violations of ordinances, provided that a fine may not exceed $1,000.
This bill would authorize a city legislative body to impose a fine of up to $5,000 for a violation of a short-term rental ordinance. The bill would define "short-term rental" for these purposes as a residential property that is rented to a visitor for fewer than 30 days through a centralized online platform where the rental is advertised and payments for the rental are securely processed.
