VRBO rental questions (Los Angeles county)

[Pete Peterson]

I want to rent my entire furnished home (Pacific Palisades primary residence) as a summer vacation rental in 2016. I'm trying to decide if I will aim to rent for 30 days of less or not.

The thing that really concerns me are these Liberal eviction laws that favor guests. What is the procedure if they refuse to leave? Do I have to go through that whole 3 - 6 month unlawful detainer legal process? Or can I just call the Sheriff? I read on the Internet what I thought said that when someone stays for 30 days or less, and their occupancy is subject to the state’s hotel occupancy tax then they are a “guest” and have no "tenant" rights. True? I read NOLO's California Landlording book and there was NO mention about short-term rentals. Waste of $30 for that book.
