Warren does not publish an STR-specific guest cap. Occupancy is governed by the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), adopted in Chapter 28, which sets minimum sleeping-area square footage per occupant. Confirm exact capacity with the Rental Inspections Division.
Warren has not adopted a numeric STR occupancy cap (e.g., '2 per bedroom plus 2'). Instead, occupancy follows the International Property Maintenance Code adopted under Chapter 28 (Property Maintenance), which is enforced through the biennial rental inspection. The IPMC requires a minimum of 70 sq ft for the first occupant of a sleeping room and 50 sq ft for each additional occupant, plus minimum total dwelling area per person. The Rental Inspections Division calculates the legal maximum during inspection. Warren's STR zoning provisions also require the unit to maintain a residential outward appearance and a posted local contact. Confirm the specific approved occupancy for your property with the Rental Inspections Division at (586) 574-4633 before listing capacity.
Operating a rental without a valid license or exceeding inspection-approved occupancy can result in license revocation, ordinance fines, and required corrective action before re-rental.
