Is there a state or city guideline which dictates how many people can occupy a unit?
1 bedroom apartment=- how many occupants?
2 bedroom apartment unit?
Thank you
Gary

Based on bedroom size HUD has an oversight, your local fire dept may be able to override the HUD sizelines. What we read here seems to be 2 person ina sleeping room with another on the sofabed, check with your fire dept for clarity and smoke detector placement is their specialty while you are in contact. --75.94.xxx.xxx |

typically (in my area anyway) they don't (or haven't) limited anything - I would say a 1 bed apartment you can state "max 2 people", a 2 bedroom you can state "max 3 or 4 people". You as an owner can and have the right to limit the number of people in a property ... you CAN NOT say things such as "no kids, married only, etc" ... that's when you get into trouble. --67.246.xx.xx |

In my are it depends on the square footage of bedroom. Under 100 ft = 1 person. 100 ft or more = 2 persons. Just had inspection done on a 2 bedroom unit. I hey specified approved for 3 people. --107.77.xx.xx |

B.O.C.A. code: 70 sq.ft. bedroom for 1 person, 100 sq. ft. for 2, additional 50 sq. ft. per person after that. Some areas will allow you to consider the liv rm as a bedroom. --71.166.x.xxx |

The best place to look is in the town/city ordinances. My town I believe is 150 sq. feet per person of living space so that doesn't count the bathroom. --32.211.xxx.x |

It may also be contingent upon what type of dwelling unit it is: Owner occupied, multi-family, boarding home, immediate family occupancy, conventional/unconventional bedrooms, waste water load, garbage load, # of kitchens, parking area, authority having jurisdiction discretion
Just to name a few. --24.190.xx.xxx |
