Minimum Occupancy Enforcement - HELP
Greetings all. Quick question. I want to make sure that I am correct in upholding my occupancy limitation of 2 people for my 1 bedroom rental property. I read the Fair Housing Memo which outlined their interpretation of the minimum occupancy to be 2 persons per bedroom. I've reached out to Building and Safety Dept. in Los Angeles with no luck in getting a clear answer. Can anyone help clarify this. Can I legally reject an applicant for my 1 bedroom rental if they are a single parent with 2 kids ( equals 3 total people)? What about if its 2 adults and a 5 year old? Is that 3 people? What is the age threshold that constitutes an additional "person?" What are my options? Thank you all in advance.
