Waipahu short-term rentals must post DPP-approved maximum occupancy limits based on bedroom count, with special attention to compact plantation-era home layouts.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730 requires the registered floor plan to identify max occupancy per bedroom, with bedroom caps applied. Waipahu plantation-era homes often feature compact room layouts, making occupancy and egress planning especially important. The guest binder must post occupancy limits and emergency contacts. Overcrowding for large tour groups or events is a frequent violation in leeward Oahu. Exceeding posted capacity can trigger neighbor complaints, fire code issues, and DPP enforcement including registration revocation. Some historic homes have safety constraints that further limit occupancy.
Overbooking beyond posted limits, hosting events exceeding the cap, or creating fire-safety hazards.
