Maximum Occupancy

How is maximum occupancy determined for short-term rentals?

‍Maximum occupancy is set based on local council regulations, fire safety standards, and the property's bedroom configuration (typically 2 guests per bedroom plus 1-2 in living areas). Strata bylaws may impose additional restrictions in apartment buildings.

What is MadeComfy's policy on maximum occupancy?

‍MadeComfy strictly enforces occupancy limits based on:

• Bed capacity (with proper sleeping arrangements)
• Local government regulations
• Strata rules (where applicable)
  These limits are clearly stated in each listing and rental agreement.

Can guests exceed maximum occupancy if children are included?

‍Infants under 2 years often aren't counted, but all other children must be included. Some properties may allow temporary cots (subject to space and safety considerations), but the total guest count cannot exceed the approved occupancy limit.

What happens if a guest breaches occupancy limits?

‍Hosts may treat this as a serious violation which may result in:

• Immediate eviction without refund
• Additional cleaning fees
• Security deposit deductions
• Potential reporting to booking platforms

Are there exceptions for short-term gatherings within occupancy limits?

‍No, occupancy limits apply 24/7, and most properties prohibit parties entirely. Some may allow small daytime visitors (with prior approval), but overnight guests cannot exceed the maximum number regardless of duration.

MadeComfy properties display clear occupancy rules in listings, and guests must accurately declare their group size when booking. These policies help maintain compliance with Australian short-term rental regulations and ensure guest safety.
