The Newport Beach City Council has voted in favor of a new ordinance designed to increase restrictions on how short-term rentals operate within city limits.
The ordinance, barely passing by a 4-3 vote at the council’s Oct. 13 session, establishes a minimum three-night stay requirement for short-term rentals. It also puts a cap on citywide short-term lodging permits at 1,550, institutes a waiting list, and establishes a new minimum-age requirement of 25 for those looking to rent.
