Mammoth Lakes Housing Shortage

What you need to know to benefit personally and help the community by providing a LONG-TERM RENTAL:

• Long-term rentals can provide you with consistent and predictable revenue
• A seasonal/annual renter can prevent damage from bears and wildlife as well as damaging weather conditions such as frozen pipes or leaks
• A proper lease can:
  • Protect you from property damage through collection of a security deposit
  • Pass along utility costs to renters
  • Limit the number of people living in the unit
  • Decide to allow pets or not

There are services in town that can help get you set up to rent long-term and can handle the actual leasing as well as provide local management

What you need to know:

• Confirm your home/condo is located in a zone that is legal for nightly rentals
• You need a Business License from the Town of Mammoth Lakes
• Sign up for a Transient Occupancy Tax certificate from the Town of Mammoth Lakes
• Consider if your home is being rented enough to cover HOA fees and utility bills
• If your home doesn’t rent and sits empty for long periods, consider renting it long-term to our local workforce in need
