1. Equal Housing Policy
Short Stay in LA provides property management services on an equal opportunity basis. We market, screen, place, communicate with, and terminate tenancies on standards that apply equally to every applicant and tenant.
2. Protected Characteristics
We do not discriminate against any person on the basis of any of the following, in any aspect of our service:
- race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, immigration status, or primary language;
- religion or creed;
- sex, including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and related medical conditions;
- gender, gender identity, or gender expression;
- sexual orientation;
- marital status, familial status, or family composition;
- age;
- military or veteran status;
- disability, mental or physical;
- genetic information;
- medical condition or AIDS / HIV status;
- source of income, including Section 8 housing-choice vouchers and other federal, state, or local rental assistance;
- any other characteristic protected by federal, California, or local law.
This policy implements the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Cal. Gov. Code § 12900 et seq.), the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 51), the Ralph Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 51.7), and the source-of-income protections in the Los Angeles Municipal Code at Section 49.95 and following.
3. Source-of-Income Protection
California and Los Angeles law treat Section 8 vouchers and other government rental assistance as a protected source of income. We do not refuse, postpone, or limit the consideration of an applicant because the applicant intends to pay with a voucher. We do not impose a minimum income requirement that effectively excludes voucher holders. We do require that the same baseline standards (credit, references, identification) apply to every applicant, applied the same way.
4. Reasonable Accommodations and Modifications
We will grant reasonable accommodations in our rules, policies, practices, or services, and reasonable modifications to a managed property, when needed to give a person with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the home, consistent with the Fair Housing Act, the ADA, and California disability rights law. To request an accommodation or modification, email legal@shortstayinla.com or speak to our team. We will respond within ten (10) business days.
Assistance animals (service animals and emotional support animals) are not pets. We treat them as a reasonable accommodation and do not charge a pet fee or pet deposit for them.
5. Listing and Advertising Standards
Every listing we publish or run advertising for must avoid language that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination against any protected class. We review listings before publication and we will decline to list a home for an owner who insists on discriminatory criteria.
6. How to Report Discrimination
If you believe you have been treated unfairly by us, by an owner whose home we manage, by a guest in one of our homes, or by a vendor we work with, report it:
- to us at legal@shortstayinla.com;
- to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at hud.gov/fairhousing or 1-800-669-9777;
- to the California Civil Rights Department at calcivilrights.ca.gov;
- to the Los Angeles Housing Department where the property is in the City of Los Angeles, at housing.lacity.gov.
7. Owner Cooperation
Owners who engage Short Stay in LA acknowledge in their management agreement that fair-housing compliance is non-negotiable and that Short Stay in LA may decline or withdraw service if an owner directs us to take any action that would violate this policy or any anti-discrimination law.
