Unregistered California Airbnb host stuck with guest for over 541 days

An Airbnb host in California is unable to remove a guest who has overstayed for 541 days and counting due to the host's failure to properly register the property. The host started renting out his guesthouse without the necessary permits, making it an illegal rental. A judge ruled that the host has no legal right to evict the guest, who is protected by LA's Just Cause Ordinance and the Rent Stabilization Ordinance. The host's attempts to sue for unpaid rent and eviction have been dismissed, and the legal battle continues.
