In 2017, the City of West Hollywood passed an ordinance establishing a home-sharing business license. The license allowed homeowners the right to register and rent either a room or a portion of their home for a period of fewer than 31 days while remaining in the home with the renter. The city contracted with an agency called Host Compliance to monitor the home share registry and to manage the legal application of the program.
