The article below from Community Impact magazine is very important whether you are dealing with a rental or a home that is owned. Typically though in rentals, there are no more than 2 heartbeats per room. Anyone over 2 years of age is considered a person, therefore is considered an "occupant."
Therefore, two parents with a 2 or 3 year old, MUST resort to a 2 bedroom apartment. It's best to advise you clients about this. In the event that a neighbor reports you and the amount of persons to the management company or the city, there can be fines and other measure that probably will be taken to remedy the situation, possibly resulting in the sale of a home just to purchase a larger home.
