OrEGone: do you know where I could find the HUD guidelines? My city & county has no standard for number of people in a unit unless they are on septic. But I would like something to hang my hat on when I don't accept 5 people in my 1 bedroom units.
Side note: Spoke w/city employees about what limits were for property. There is a limit on unrelated people (greater than X and it's a group home) but no limit no related people. They felt city shouldn't be regulating number of people in your family. I said I didn't think 5 in a 1 bedroom was reasonable. City employees can't imagine tenants wanting to do that. Problem is that some city employees can't imagine how unreasonable some tenants can be. --207.200.xxx.xx |

Why don't you adjust the price of your rental to discourage more than two people in your unit. For example, keep your standard rental rate that you charge now, and say that is based on two people. After two, charge $50 - $100 more per month for each additional tenant. This will 1) discourage families from trying to squeeze into a small unit and/or 2) allow you to reject them based on their lack of income. --24.11.x.xxx |

It will actually cause a great deal of time and money fighting a fair housing suit.
HUD guidelines are 2 per bedroom plus 1. That is fine unless you state or locality uses something else. One of the more common metrics is 70 sf for the first person and 50 for each addition per bedroom. These rules can be found in your health or sanitation codes in same states. The best place to ask is your local REIA or the local agency that enforces rental regulations. --70.19.xxx.xxx |
