Eli5 – Max occupancy rule and fire hazard

350 views

I am trying to understand if/how the max occupancy rules can be a fire hazard. I am hosting a lunch for my friends (8 including me) in my one room apt. No one is staying overnight. Only 5-6 hours max. Where do I lookup if I am breaching any rules or what are my responsibilities?

I tried to search the state laws but they are only for overnight guests. But I want to make sure I don’t do anything I am not supposed to even if it’s only a few hours .

There will be information in the lobby, in the stairwells, or at the top of stairs, about fire escapes.

If that sign doesn’t mention max occupancy, you’re probably good.

There might be information about it in your tenancy agreement.

It’s unlikely 8 is an issue.
