consecutive days, while still preventing short-term rental activities from becoming a nuisance or a threat to public health, safety or welfare.

8.114.020. - Restrictions.
A.
All short-term rentals must be hosted. Nonhosted short-term rentals are prohibited within the Town of Moraga;

The short-term rental must be located within a permitted and permanently constructed dwelling unit. For example, without limitation, short-term rental in a vehicle, trailer, or tent is not allowed.
(Ord. No. 290, § 3, 6-10-2020)
8.114.050. - Enforcement and
Violations.
The town may enforce this chapter by any means permitted by law, including, but not limited to, those penalty provisions set forth in Chapter 1.24 and/or Chapter 1.28 of Title 1 of this Code.
