[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I own a 2 bedroom rental unit in DC. We are curr looking for tenants and have been contacted by a group of three recent college grads who would like to share the place. I would rather not have three people living there -- or three people on the lease. Can I legally refuse them based on the fact that there are three of them?[/quote] My company owners 80+ properties in the DC area. First, you are not required to give applicants a reason they were denied. Second, there is a limit to how many people can live in a Premise. For instance, two adults per room is the max (same for children, etc). Aside from that as a Landlord you have very right to lease your property to whomever you wish. My company does not lease to roommates. We stopped the practice eight years ago. Roommates tend to have more issues and they are not worth the time or hassle.[/quote]
