3 bdr rental: City's says 5, renter asking for 6

[James Fowler]

OK... Maybe I should never question this. But it seems rediculous that the city's required occupancy permit allows for only 5 people in my 3 bed 1200 sqft house.

Through screening people we have found a qualified potential tenant we like.... Except they come in the quantity of SIX! Is there any legal or other concerns to have over doing this?
