Too many adults

We have received a rental application from a couple who probably would meet our financial rental criteria but they have listed that another family will be living with them. They are US citizens and will be sponsoring another family, their niece, with her three children. The niece  will be coming to the US to learn about American life and the children to go to school. The children's ages are 19, 15, and 12.  The apartment they are applying for is a 3 bedroom with 1.5 bathrooms. We think 4 adults is too many for this apartment. We think the wear and tear on the apartment will be considerable. How can we say no? Our rental application states no more than 2 per bedroom. We added this so people with 3+ kids wouldn't try and rent our 2 bedroom apartments. We did not foresee this situation.
