![]() ![]() The town of Truckee has made operating short-term rentals in Truckee during the stay-at-home order punishable by a fine of $1,000. On December 28, Airbnb said it would block guests from booking in all three locations through January 1. The platforms are informing owners, but aren’t offering refunds outside their usual policies. The order will stay in place at least until January 1, depending on hospital capacity levels.Įarlier this month, leaders in Placer County, El Dorado County, and Truckee made a request to Airbnb and Vrbo, asking the short-term rental platforms to inform all owners and guests about the stay-at-home order, provide full refunds if booked guests choose not to stay, and provide leaders with access to guests for further messages. State officials issued a stay-at-home order for the Lake Tahoe region in early December. Short-term rental hosts in South Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and El Dorado County all must follow local rules on noise, trash, parking, occupancy limits, and more. Short-term rental hosts in unincorporated El Dorado County are required to obtain permits, post permit numbers on advertisements, and designate a contact that can respond to issues 24 hours a day. Renewals of existing vacation rentals that have received or applied for a permit as of November 1, 2020, will not be subject to the cap. If the number of permit applications exceeds the cap, the county will establish a waiting list. Currently, 726 permitted vacation rentals are operating in the Lake Tahoe area. Meanwhile, El Dorado County has capped the number of short-term rentals, limiting them to 900 in unincorporated parts of the Lake Tahoe Basin. Truckee short-term rental hosts will be required to register with the town and designate a contact who can respond to issues within 30 minutes. Nearby Truckee will also begin new short-term rental rules starting January 1, 2021. Unhosted short-term rentals will be phased out in South Lake Tahoe by the end of 2021 due to a referendum that was passed in 2018. Hosts must obtain a city permit and include the permit number in advertisements and have a designated contact who can respond to problems. The new ordinance, which went into effect December 17, allows hosts to rent out part of their home while they remain on-site. The city of South Lake Tahoe, California, has passed a new law allowing hosted short-term rentals in the city. ![]()
