The City of Miami Gardens caps occupancy for short-term rental properties at 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional people. For example, a 3-bedroom property may host a maximum of 8 guests (6 + 2). This occupancy standard applies to all residential rental properties, whether rented on a short-term or long-term basis.
