STR occupancy in Canal Winchester follows general residential building code: maximum 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional occupants, consistent with Ohio Residential Code and International Property Maintenance Code occupancy standards.
For a three-bedroom home, typical maximum occupancy would be 8 persons. Operators should set listing caps below code maximums to reduce noise and parking impacts. Children under 2 generally do not count toward occupancy. Sleeping in non-bedroom spaces (living rooms, basements without egress, garages) violates building code and voids homeowner insurance. Gatherings above overnight occupancy (parties) are a common trigger for neighbor complaints and can be treated as disorderly conduct or public nuisance.
Overcrowding in violation of property maintenance code: property maintenance citation, abatement order, potential condemnation for severe cases. Unpermitted sleeping in non-bedroom space: code violation.
