Downtown LA Monthly Airbnb Management

Live-in Lofts, Legal Income, Zero Hotel Tax

Demand for monthly rentals in DTLA continues to grow. LA’s Home-Sharing Registration (HSR) demands a permit and 14% hotel tax for any stay under 30 nights. Flip the calendar to day 31 and the tax disappears, nightly caps vanish, and HOAs breathe easier.

City Rules & Real Numbers

30 Nights = No TOT, No Nightly Caps

Thirty-night bookings skirt the 14 percent hotel tax and nightly caps tied to short stays. We secure your Home-Sharing Registration, prepare CAR month-to-month leases, and keep every clause in step with Los Angeles Municipal Code § 12.22—so Downtown LA Monthly Airbnb Management stays worry-free.

Approximately 60% of homes in DTLA are monthly rentals, yet if your home allows it, short term rentals are also an option.

💬 List Your Home FAQ

1. Is short-term rental hosting allowed in Downtown LA?

Yes — but with limitations. Short-term rentals under 30 days are legal in DTLA only if the property is your primary residence and you’ve registered for a Home Sharing Permit through the City of LA. Many Downtown homeowners opt for monthly rentals instead, which are fully legal without a permit and offer more predictable income.

Our monthly rental management program helps homeowners lease furnished homes for 30+ nights to vetted guests. We handle everything: professional photos, listing setup, guest screening, leasing, cleanings, and support. DTLA’s mix of creatives, professionals, and digital nomads makes it a strong market for luxury monthly rentals.

Yes. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) and we operate a dedicated long-term leasing division. For homeowners who prefer 12-month tenants, we can list your property on the MLS, screen tenants, and draft legal leases using CAR forms. Some clients do a long-term lease one year and switch to monthly rentals the next when they plan to use the home part-time.

Downtown LA attracts entertainment workers, remote tech professionals, production crews, and international travelers. These guests often book for 1–3 months and prefer luxury vacation rental alternatives with hotel-style amenities, smart home features, and access to DTLA’s walkable lifestyle.

Furnished monthly rentals in DTLA typically earn 20–30% more than unfurnished leases. Homes in buildings with pools, gyms, secure parking, or rooftop views perform best. Our model also works well for homeowners who use the property part of the year and want to block personal dates while maximizing income the rest of the time.

We list your home on Airbnb, Zillow, Furnished Finder, and our direct site, then screen all guests through ID verification, background checks, and travel insurance. Whether it’s a 30-day corporate booking or a weekend stay, your home is protected and guests are vetted.

Our vacation rental management service covers every aspect of operating your home, whether you’re offering monthly or legal short-term stays. We handle professional photography, dynamic pricing through PriceLabs, listing optimization, CAR-compliant leasing, guest communication late into the night, cleaning coordination, and ongoing maintenance oversight. From day-to-day logistics to long-term profitability, we deliver a seamless, full-service solution for DTLA homeowners.

We use PriceLabs dynamic pricing tools, layered with market research from Zillow, Airbnb, and internal booking trends. As a licensed brokerage, our Broker of Record signs off on all monthly rental amounts to ensure legal compliance. Homes in South Park, Arts District, and Bunker Hill with views or modern upgrades see the strongest pricing.

We offer the flexibility of both monthly and short-term rental strategies, backed by 14+ years of experience, local compliance knowledge, and a 4.9+ Airbnb rating. With our in-house leasing division and full-service hospitality model, we make owning a DTLA investment property easy — and optimized.
