Airbnb Makes the Rules
  • airbnb limits the number of guests who can sleep in a rental to 16.

  • There's no limit by the fire marshall on how many people can be in a "residential building", unlike a hotel, which is a "commercial building".

  • how many can be in an airbnb home? unlimited!

  • the city collects tax for "lodging business use" but the city's occupancy rules are those of a residence.

  • the city of san diego has no density clause in their str ordinance.

  • in san diego there is no limit to the amount of whole home vacation rentals are allowed on a street, block, neighborhood.

  • "hotel" guests REPLACE neighbors and the school population suffers

HOW TO HANDLE A PROBLEM STVR

1) Contact the host. They must respond within one hour.

2) If they don't, then file a complaint on Get It Done (link below). You need the address. It helps to have the license # and host name.

3) The GID report will got to BLUE: Building and Land Use Enforcement, the BLUE team will take action. Once they have verified the problem event, the host will get a "strike" against them.

Three strikes and they lose their STR license and get a $1,000 fine.

Calling SDPD non-emergency might stop a noise issue but does not help the city take legal action and fine the host, and possibly close down the rental.

Reporting to Airbnb might prevent future parties but does not help the city take legal action and fine the host, and possibly close down the rental.

You must contact the host BEFORE you complain on Get It Done!
