Antioch vs Walnut Creek

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.

Walnut Creek applies standard residential occupancy limits to short-term rentals — generally 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional, consistent with California Building Code and Uniform Housing Code standards. Hosts must also comply with parking, noise, and nuisance rules; exceeding occupancy is a common basis for neighbor complaints and permit enforcement.
