Protecting Your Rights to Host STRs Throughout Los Angeles County

Los Angeles County is home to 88 cities, each with its own approach to regulating short-term rentals. Some cities permit responsible home sharing with registration requirements, while others have adopted severe restrictions or outright bans.

The STR Alliance of Los Angeles County (STRALA) brings together homeowners, hosts, property managers, local businesses, and community supporters to advocate for balanced regulations that protect neighborhoods without eliminating the economic opportunities and tourism benefits that short-term rentals provide.

We believe responsible hosts are part of the solution—not the problem.

Responsible short-term rentals help:

  1. Expand lodging options during major events

  2. Support family travel and group accommodations

  3. Generate supplemental income that helps homeowners afford rising housing costs

  4. Create local spending at restaurants, shops, and attractions

  5. Increase transient occupancy tax revenue for cities

  6. Distribute tourism benefits beyond traditional hotel districts

Well-designed regulations can preserve these benefits while addressing legitimate neighborhood concerns.

What We Do

  • We track city council meetings, planning commissions, and ordinance proposals across Los Angeles County before decisions become final.

  • We speak on behalf of stakeholders during public hearings and provide testimony to local officials.

  • We organize neighborhood chapters so hosts can work together and communicate with elected officials.

  • We provide objective research about tourism, housing, tax revenue, property rights, and responsible hosting. We help hosts and community members share stories the positive impact of short-term rentals.

  • Good hosts deserve good policies. We advocate for registration, safety standards, tax compliance, and meaningful enforcement against bad actors instead of broad prohibitions.

Together we can promote fair regulations, protect property rights, and ensure local officials hear directly from the residents affected by their decisions.
