After applications for required licenses fell short of a citywide cap on whole-home vacation rentals, the city is giving hosts a second chance to apply
Heeding the old adage, if at first you don’t succeed, the city of San Diego will try once more to persuade short-term rental hosts to apply for a required license under new regulations that go into effect May 1.
That was not the case for Mission Beach, which has a separate cap of nearly 1,100 licenses, which represents 30 percent of the community’s housing units. The city received 200 more applications than licenses available, necessitating a lottery. Applicants will know the outcome of that lottery by Friday.City officials said this week that the application process for whole-home rentals outside Mission Beach will reopen by next week, although they are still weighing how long it will remain open.
“We’re meeting internally to figure out next steps to make sure we do things right,” she said. “Do we do it for a specified period or until we reach the cap?” Under the city’s regulations for vacation rentals, an unlimited number of licenses are allowed for those hosts who rent out a room or two while they are in the home or in instances where they rent out their residence for less than 20 days in a year.
