Perris, CA Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Section 5.38.080 of the Perris Municipal Code sets the operational occupancy standards for short-term rentals. Maximum occupancy is two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons within the short-term rental, so a two-bedroom unit, for example, allows up to six occupants. The primary guest of the short-term rental must be an adult 18 years of age or older and is identified in the required guest log. The chapter also limits the length of stay: Section 5.38.080 provides that transients may not stay at the rental for longer than 27 consecutive days, consistent with the 27-day definition of a short-term rental in Section 5.38.020; however, military personnel and displaced individuals (such as people displaced by a declared emergency, as those terms are defined in 5.38.020) may stay longer than 27 consecutive days. The unit is restricted to overnight lodging only and may not be used for weddings, parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, conferences, or similar events, which functionally reinforces the per-bedroom occupancy cap. The owner must include these occupancy limits in the written terms provided to guests, and exceeding the occupancy limit is a violation enforceable under Section 5.38.100.
