City of Beverly Hills Imposes One Year Minimum Lease Requirement
The City of Beverly Hills has adopted a short-term rental ordinance at their meeting on July 15, 2025.
The ordinance defines short term rentals for both single-family and multi-family residences as any lease or sublease that is shorter than 12 consecutive months and requires a minimum one-year initial lease term with the ability to revert to a month-to-month lease thereafter.
In addition to single-family, condominium and multifamily properties, this mandatory, one-year lease term is applicable to the leasing of guest houses, accessory dwelling units, or other accessory features on a property (game courts, pools, yards), but does not cover any in-home care giving activities.
The short-term rental ordinance is expected to be effective on September 5, 2025.
