Occupancy Limits: Antioch vs Brentwood

Antioch applies standard residential occupancy limits to short-term rentals, typically allowing two persons per bedroom plus two additional occupants, subject to building code and health code maximums. Overcrowding, excessive parked vehicles, and party-house behavior trigger enforcement under the city's nuisance and disorderly house ordinances.

Brentwood applies standard residential occupancy limits to short-term rentals. California Building Code and the Uniform Housing Code generally support a 2-persons-per-bedroom-plus-1 guideline as reasonable. Operators must also comply with fire and life-safety egress requirements, parking capacity, and any HOA occupancy limits in CC&Rs.
