G. The issuance of a Short-Term Rental Event Permit shall not be construed to authorize the conduct or continuance of any illegal Short-Term Rental or of a legal Short-Term Rental in an illegal manner. All Owners, Long-Term Tenants, and Permittees shall cause their Short-Term Rental Property and Short-Term Rental Units, prior to permit issuance and at all times during the term of a Short-Term Rental Event Permit, to be in compliance with all applicable codes regarding fire, building and safety, health and safety, and all other relevant laws, regulations, and ordinances applicable to residential uses and the underlying zone and obtain all permits required and pay all applicable fees.
