2 +1. So for a one bed it would be 3, 2 bedroom would be 5 etc.

You are all stating maximum occupancy. There’s no minimum occupancy.
You can be less than the limit, but cannot exceed.

The HUD ruling is a guideline not a law and is very vague at best. The only way to make this decision is to know your local and state laws.

No concerns usually until it creates damage, structural or septic/sewer related issues.
That way we have specifics to point to which helps avoid the ambiguity and focus on the impacts to the owner.

2 per BR +1. But our city also has some standards based on square footage of living space.

As a guide...2 per bedroom plus 1 in the living area. But, check your local/State laws and your company's policy.
