In San Jose, short term rentals are regulated by the zoning code requirements for “incidental transient occupancy.” The right to offer incidental transient occupancy is reserved for hosts who occupy the property for at least 60 consecutive days with the intent to establish it as their primary residence. If the host is present, short term rentals are allowed up to a maximum of 3 guests in single-family homes and only 2 guests in multifamily dwellings. There is no cap on the annual number of nights a host can book short term rentals if they are present. When the host is not present, annual bookings are capped at 180 days and the maximum number of guests is 2 per studio, 3 per one-bedroom unit, and 2 per bedroom for larger units, up to an absolute max of 10 guests regardless of number of bedrooms.
