South Lake Tahoe Travel Forum

So I know SLT has occupancy laws and stuff. However I have a very big group (20-25) that are only available on the last weekend of February. And I cannot find any affordable ($40-$70/person) places for that weekend. SO, we're going to have to pack it in. Question is, how strict are these occupancy laws? I know the same laws apply in Mammoth Lakes but we get away with it all the time up there. Any advice?

I've personally stuffed 16 into an apartment rented for 8. As long as the noise was not worthy of a complaint by the neighbors, they should never know.

Thanks for the advice, but when you rented, were you explicitly told that you cannot over occupy and all the stuff about the legalities? Did you sign a contract that explicitly stated that there would be consequences for over occupying the home?

It might have been in the fine print, but honestly, I just signed the contract without reading it all. Having lived in Tahoe my whole life, I'd say the authorities are fairly relaxed about most things.
