Tenants may decide that they want to reduce their per person costs or bring more friends into the house. In so doing, you, as a tenant - may create illegal conditions. For example, you may put 2 people in a bedroom that is only legal for 1 occupant or you may convert the livingroom, attic or basement into bedrooms where these areas are not legally convertible this way. In such a situation, the rent for the remaining tenants may not be reduced. Stay informed through our webpages and office staff and you will be less likely to suffer the negative consequences of code violations.
Municipal codes establish physical and occupancy standards for rentals.
Knowledge of these rules helps you make better decisions.
