Regulations for str in the city of LA

[Chase Fisher]

Hi All,

I've been doing some research on STR but mostly what I see is that you have to use your primary residence as a str and can't do it with an investment property. This can't be true….I have an opportunity on two duplex's to help str and want to determine how it can be done. Whether that be me leasing and then subleasing it but there has to be a way. I'm calling the city again tomorrow for more answers but Airbnb and the research I have done says it needs to be primary. Please let me know!

Thanks! 

Chase

It California. I have no doubt its true.

If it's illegal then its illegal.

The city will be your best bet and you are already calling them so good luck.
