Guest occupancy is limited to two persons per bedroom plus two additional, with an absolute maximum of 12 guests per booking per LA County Code Section 7.96.060.K.
Section 7.96.060.K caps guest occupancy at 2 persons per bedroom + 2 additional persons, never exceeding 12 guests per booking or reservation. Lofts meeting California Building Code egress requirements count as bedrooms for this calculation. Section 7.96.060.M prohibits using STRs for any party, banquet, corporate event, commercial gathering, or open-invite event advertised on social media. Section 7.96.070.C limits the host to one guest booking per night.
Exceeding occupancy or hosting prohibited events is a violation under Section 7.96.110 — grounds for suspension or revocation plus daily administrative fines.
