Do I need a business license to start Airbnb?

[Mario F.]

Hello, I just purchased a fourplex in Inglewood CA. I'll be living in one, my mom in another, while the two others will be STR. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to proceed from this point as we will be starting with the rentals soon. Do I need to go to the city and pull a license to operate the airbnbs? Los Angeles has rental control but Inglewood does not. I'm thinking it will be a lot easier in Inglewood to run these airbnbs since its not tied to LA's regulations on short term rentals. Any advice would be appreciated!

thanks!
