Occupancy Limits: Richmond vs San Ramon

Richmond applies California Building Code occupancy standards and general nuisance provisions to short-term rentals rather than a dedicated per-room guest cap. A commonly applied rule of thumb is two adults per bedroom plus two additional occupants, and hosts are responsible for preventing overcrowding, excessive noise, and parking overflow.

Where short-term rentals are permitted in San Ramon, occupancy is constrained by California Building Code and San Ramon Municipal Code limits on residential density, typically 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional occupants. Fire Code sleeping unit standards, parking limits, and HOA CC&R occupancy caps further narrow allowable guest counts.
