Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I have a 4 unit rental property with each unit less then 600 sq ft. I usually rent to singles but never more then 2 occupants. Now, I have a couple with a 2yo interested. I'm not interested in having 3 occupants but I'm afraid I'll get sued if I turn them down. Again, it's not the child that's the problem, it's having 3 occupants (I pay water and garbage). Any idea if I'm safe??? I've searched everything I can online but Florida law is a mess.

RE: Number of occupants
If you have stated that you are turning them down because of this tread lightly you may be considered as discrimination. Make sure to never advertise against people with families or for single people this is discrimination. Make sure that if you do turn them down simply say that the tenants you accepted are more qualified.

RE: Number of occupants
The law in my state lets you limit it to 2 persons per bedroom. So if it is a 0ne bedroom unit you can limit it to 2 occupants. Check you states laws on # of renters allowed per bedroom.
