Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Allowed Occupancy In 639 sq ft One Bedrrom Rental In Ca.

Hello,

I'm single person and the owner of a small 639 square foot one

bedroom condo in California and have renters living directly below me

in a condo of the same size owned by a different owner. Theres a family of 4-5 renting this small

one bedroom condo below me and I've been told by many people that this

is against California law(having this many people living in such a

small place with one bedroom(639 sq feet))I would like to be able to look this law

up directly on the internet but have know idea where to locate it and

print it out.Could you please link me to the law that states the

amount of people allowed within a small one bedroom rental within the

state of California.

Thanks in advance

Gary

There doesn't appear to be anything in state law that limits occupancy. In fact, any artificial regulation of number of people in an apartment could be considered discrimination against families. That said, municipalities (cities or counties) have codes that regulate number of people per bedroom both for health and safety reasons. Check your local municipal code.
