5 Adults in small 3BR Home?

[Jen B.]

Hello,

I currently have my home on the market and got an application from a group of 5 Adult girl roommates. Are there any rules in place about how many unrelated adults can live together in a single family home? I've tried looking in my city code of ordinance but saw no such thing for the zoning. (I'm in florida). My main concern is that the home is on the smaller side at just under 1100 sq ft, only 1.5bath and space for two cars. Anyone have experience with renting a small home to a large group of adults like this? I'm really hesitant about it and would rather not. But so far they are my only applicants. They can't move in for another 3 weeks so I would prefer someone move in sooner. But other than that, so far they meet my requirements. I know you cannot discriminate on family status or # of kids, but was wondering about this situation. Thanks.

@Jen B.  the answer is in the question...."I'm really hesitant about it and would rather not". usually when your gut says no, there is no reason to try and convince your self otherwise. So what that they are your only applicants? you should have a vacancy plan in place and reserves to offset your costs.
