i'm pretty sure max capacity is 2 per bedroom. I would look it up, usually your state website will have the max capacity.

RE: number of people allowed in 2 bedroom apartment in MA?
The guidelines provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), one of the enforcement agencies for fair housing, recommend two persons per bedroom. For federally subsidized rental housing, HUD recommends two persons per bedroom plus two for the overall rental unit. This would mean a one-bedroom rental may have up to four occupants and a two-bedroom rental may have as many as six. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) recommends two persons per bedroom plus one additional person for the overall rental unit. In other words, three occupants in a one-bedroom rental and five occupants in a two-bedroom rental.

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
