The Beverly Hills Planning Commission voted 3-2 at its Nov. 14 meeting to recommend that City Council adopt an ordinance that would impose new regulations on short-term rentals.
While a ban on short-term rentals has been in place in the city since 2014, the new ordinance essentially redefines minimum lease terms from six months to one year for single-family rentals and from 30 days to six months for multifamily rentals. The proposed ordinance would additionally outline a harsher fine to be issued for violations of short-term rental regulations to the maximum extent allowed under state law.
