Prince George's County limits every short-term rental to a total of eight guests at any one time, and no more than three guests per bedroom. Only registered short-term rental guests may use the unit. These caps are set in the host requirements of Subtitle 5, Division 8.
Under CB-11-2018 (codified at Subtitle 5, Division 8), a licensed short-term rental host shall not permit more than a total of eight guests at any one time, and there shall not be more than three guests per bedroom. The host shall not permit any individuals other than registered short-term rental guests to use the unit. Off-street parking must be provided at one space for every three overnight guests, so occupancy and parking capacity are linked. The county's official short-term rental FAQ restates these limits: a maximum of eight renters at a time and a maximum of three guests per bedroom. Municipalities within the county may impose stricter occupancy rules.
Exceeding eight total guests, exceeding three guests per bedroom, or allowing non-registered individuals to use the rental violates the host requirements and may lead to administrative citations and suspension or revocation of the DPIE short-term rental license.
