When it comes to how many people can live in a house or apartment, landlord must follow certain rules. Public health housing regulations require landlords to ensure there is adequate sleeping space for all occupants of a unit. If there is not enough space, the property could be overcrowded. Local municipal bylaws can also impact the number of people that can live in a rental property.
Many landlords restrict the number of people who can live in a specific type of unit. This information would be included in the lease agreement.
