Who it is for

Owners of a whole home or unit in the cities below who want it run for them. Most Bay Area cities only allow short-term rentals of the host’s primary residence, so in practice this fits owners who live in the home part of the year and rent it while away, within each city’s night limits. Stays are capped at 30 nights; we do not manage mid-term or long-term leases.

Where we operate

• San Francisco — permanent residents only (275+ nights a year); un-hosted stays capped at 90 nights a year; Business Registration + Short-Term Residential Rental certificate.
• San José — primary residence; un-hosted stays capped at 180 days a year; Business Tax Certificate + TOT registration.
• Berkeley — primary residence; un-hosted 90 days a year; city registration + zoning certificate; 12% TOT + 2% fee; $1M liability cover.
• Santa Cruz (city) — hosted permits only (owner lives there 6+ months a year), 250-permit cap.
• Half Moon Bay — primary residence; un-hosted 60 nights a year.
• Marin County (unincorporated) — STR licence, business licence and TOT certificate; licences are capped.

Not offered: Oakland, Carmel-by-the-Sea and the City of Monterey, where rentals under 30 days are largely not permitted in residential zones. Rules change; we check yours before we quote, and you hold the permit in your name. This is not legal advice.

Outside these areas we run the guest inbox, pricing suggestions and statements remotely on our Autonomous — Managed software plan (see pricing); you keep your own cleaner.

Underperformance guarantee

If a month’s net rental revenue falls below 90% of your documented prior-12-month monthly average, next month’s fee is waived (at most one waived month per quarter). You are eligible after 6 consecutive months. Full terms: guarantee fine print. How a handover runs, step by step: how managed co-hosting works.
