City of Newport Beach staff has proposed making current regulations on short-term rentals of housing units more stringent by expanding the requirements for rentals in the city. The proposed amendments include limiting how many adult guests can stay in a home, requiring adequate parking and mandating that a notice with a local person's contact information — someone within 10 miles of the home — be placed on the exterior along with the number of the house's city-issued short-term-lodging permit.
Staff also has proposed that any rental agent, homeowner or online platform list a home's lodging permit number on advertisements. That would make it easier for staff to identify and control homes that are operating without a permit, staff has said.
They've also considered adding to the municipal code the requirements that permits be reviewed annually, property owners submit verification from their homeowners associations that they are permitted to rent out their property — since some don't allow it — a guest stays a minimum number of nights to reduce the number of transient renters and homesharing be regulated. Home sharing involves the homeowner staying in the house along with the renter.
