No New Jersey statute caps short-term rental occupancy. Limits come from each Gloucester County municipality's rental ordinance, tied to bedroom count, and from septic capacity on properties off municipal sewer.
Occupancy caps for rentals in Gloucester County are set town by town, not by county or a single statute. Municipalities cap guests by bedroom count in the rental certificate, commonly two per bedroom plus a fixed allowance, and Glassboro applies added limits to student-occupied housing near Rowan University. The harder limit is the septic system: rural properties in Franklin Township, Monroe Township, and Harrison Township off municipal sewer run on systems sized for a set number of bedrooms under state environmental rules, and overloading them violates the code enforced by the municipal health department. Sewered areas rely on the town ordinance alone.
Exceeding a town occupancy cap risks the rental certificate. Overloading a septic system triggers a municipal health department order and possible fines.
