Number of Occupants per Unit Los Angeles

[Kasey Destache]

Hi BP Fam! 

I'm renting out a backhouse, which is only 360 square feet in Marina del Rey (Los Angeles). Am I allowed to list "Unit is limited to and ideal for a single occupant" as one of my criteria? I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to list this particular criteria. 

Thanks in advance!

@Kasey Destache this may affect the Fair housing advertising rules as you are limited to only discriminate based on financing qualifications (credit score and employment requirements). This would exclude families in  your advertising so its best to not include that in your listing. When you speak to them over the phone during your prescreen, you can mention that LA city code has a limit of 2 people per bedroom per unit. Being that you are a studio it would mean one person but again, having this in writing on an advertisement opens you to the potential of violating fair housing advertising rules.
