What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I am renting a Cape Cod home for one week in the summer. The rental contract stipulates "Occupants (including children, infants and visitors) are not to exceed the limit cited above. If more than the agreement number is found to be occupying the premises, this agreement will be immediately
terminated without refund of rent or deposit." Our rental group, at 16, is within the limits of the contract, but we are interested in inviting 6 additional people for an evening gathering to celebrate a birthday. The 6 additional guests will be visiting for the gathering, and not staying overnight. The property owner claims that we are in violation of the contract because we plan to have 22 "occupants." Can anyone clearly state the definition of "occupant" with respect to this situation? - thanks!
