Beginning Monday at noon, operators of short-term rental properties in the city of San Diego can apply for a license to offer stays of less than a month.
The ordinance mandating the short-term residential occupancy, or STRO, license was passed in 2021 and subsequently approved by the California Coastal Commission. Its guidelines include a requirement for rental hosts to obtain a license and establishes a cap on the number of licenses granted for whole-home rentals operating more than 20 days per year.
"After leading this effort for the past two years, I look forward to the STRO license application process opening for all tiers on Oct. 3, 2022," said Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell."A host will be able to apply for one of the following four STRO license tiers: Part-Time, Home Sharing, Whole-Home and Mission Beach Whole Home. These new regulations will return more housing into the market and give neighborhoods more quality of life.
The STRO license will be required starting on May 1, 2023. The law caps short-term vacation rentals at 1% of the city's housing supply and prioritizes"good actors" in a lottery to determine who gets to offer properties for whole-home vacation rentals. But the ordinance, which Campbell called last year a compromise between property owners and corporate rental services such as VRBO and Airbnb, has drawn criticism — mainly from landlords concerned about the fairness and equitability of the forthcoming lottery system.
