Los Angeles · Now accepting properties
In plain terms
A mid-term rental sits between a vacation stay and a traditional lease. The home is fully furnished, utilities and Wi-Fi are usually included, and residents typically stay for one to several months.
These stays often serve people relocating for work, professionals on temporary assignments, families displaced by insurance claims or renovations, and people between homes. They want a place that feels like home, not a hotel room.
Mid-term rental management means R Living runs that operation for you: we prepare the home, find and screen residents, set pricing, support residents during their stay, coordinate cleaning and repairs, and keep you informed.

Regulatory considerations
No single rule applies to mid-term rentals across Los Angeles County. The City of Los Angeles, each independent city and unincorporated County areas set their own requirements, and a longer stay that works in one jurisdiction may be treated differently a few miles away.
In the City of Los Angeles, rentals longer than 30 consecutive days are outside the Home-Sharing Ordinance, but they can still be subject to other housing rules.
We confirm which jurisdiction applies to your property and review known constraints before recommending a mid-term strategy.
Under the City's Home-Sharing Ordinance, a short-term rental means renting a unit for 30 consecutive days or less. Rentals longer than 30 consecutive days are outside that ordinance. Home-Sharing eligibility is specific to the property and host: primary-residence and registration requirements apply, and certain housing restrictions—including Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) status—can make a unit ineligible.
Where to confirm: Los Angeles City Planning (Home-Sharing program) and the Los Angeles Housing Department
Los Angeles County includes 88 incorporated cities—among them Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale and Long Beach. Each sets its own rules for short-term and furnished rentals, and those rules can differ significantly from the City of Los Angeles. A Los Angeles mailing address does not necessarily mean a property is within the City of Los Angeles.
Where to confirm: The individual city's municipal code and planning department
Communities that are not part of any city—such as Marina del Rey, East Los Angeles, Altadena and Topanga—fall under Los Angeles County's rules rather than a city's.
Where to confirm: Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning
Longer stays and property-level rules also matter. A rental outside a short-term rental ordinance can still be regulated: longer furnished stays may be treated as a tenancy, which can bring landlord–tenant law, rent stabilization, eviction protections and tax obligations into play. Building policies, HOA covenants, lease terms, lender requirements and insurance terms can restrict furnished rentals even where local rules allow them.
This section is general information, not legal advice. Rules change, and eligibility depends on the specific property, its jurisdiction and how it will be used. R Living reviews known constraints before recommending a strategy and flags questions to confirm with the relevant city or county, your building or HOA, or qualified legal counsel.
