Mid-Term Rentals of RSO Properties in Los Angeles

[Franklin Marquette]

Hey all,

Does anybody have experience with doing mid-term rentals on RSO properties in LA County? I have heard of certain investors doing it and finding success doing it but am wary given the restrictions on short term rentals (under a month) on RSO properties and generally how sensitive these rules are.

From what I understand, they are "hotel-like" bookings. So long as the stay is under 180 days and over 31 days it is technically allowed (although likely frowned upon by the RSO) and exempt from the RSO. In addition, there are no requirements to report rent levels.

Platforms to post on include AirBnb or Furnished Finder. Although Furnished Finder is just a marketplace and does not offer insurance options like AirBnb does.

This is just something I heard about the other day. It sounds too good to be true so just want to see if any other forum members have experience with it and know where I can read more and find more explicit information / rules around it.

Thanks!
