Revere, MA Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Section 8.09.030(B) sets Revere's short-term rental occupancy limit directly: short-term rental occupancy shall be limited to two persons per bedroom, excluding children under the age of twelve related to, or the legal ward of either bedroom occupant. The limit works alongside the chapter's separate cap on rental party size in § 8.09.030(A), which restricts an owner-adjacent unit or primary residence unit offered as a whole to no more than six unrelated persons per rental, also excluding children under twelve. Section 8.09.030(D) reinforces the per-bedroom math by capping the number of bedrooms made available for short-term rental at the number of lawful bedrooms that actually exist in the dwelling unit, so an operator cannot advertise more sleeping space than the unit legally contains.

Read together, the two-person-per-bedroom rule, the six-person party cap, and the lawful-bedroom-count limit set the outer bound on how many overnight renters a Revere short-term rental unit can host at one time, and the short-term rental enforcement office and the Revere Fire Department's Office of Fire Prevention both inspect for compliance with these standards under § 8.09.050(E).
