[quote=Anonymous]DC has limits, based on the bedroom size. Generally, each bedroom must have minimum of 70 square feet if to be used by one occupant. If multiple people are sharing the bedroom, it must have minimum of 50 sq feet per person (so 100 sq foot bedroom for two people in a single bedroom). And, interesting enough, this is not done through the Rental code, but rather through the DC Human Rights code. That said, you CAN impose limits on how many ADULTS use the unit. You just can't discriminate against families with children. It's a bit of a grey area. I have a 2BR English basement rental and my rental ad on CL/Zillow/Hot Pads clearly stated that the apartment is for a max of 2 adults. The lease my tenants signed clearly states that they are the only adults allowed to live in the unit, but any kids they have or adopt after signing the lease are allowed to live there. This gets around any claims of discrimination.[/quote]
