Too many occupants in an apartment

[Przemek Kos]

Hi,

Hypothetical situation - picture a tenant with a family (total of 4) living in a 2 bedroom / 1 bath apartment. That tenant at some point has another 4 people move in (total of 8) and as a result is violating state safe occupancy limits.

As a landlord, what options do you have? How can you enforce safe occupancy rules?

Thanks.

@Przemek Kos I agree with what @Karl B. has stated. If they are violating your city or state occupancy limits, I would send them a notice stating the same as soon as possible.
