# Occupancy Limits What it controls: Maximum number of people who can occupy the property. Options: * 2 per bedroom: Standard occupancy (2-bedroom = 4 people max) * 2 per bedroom plus 1: HUD standard (2-bedroom = 5 people max) Default Setting: 2 per bedroom plus 1 (HUD standard) Recommendation: Use the broader HUD standard unless you have specific local ordinances requiring stricter limits. Some cities (like Tempe, AZ) have unique occupancy rules that we monitor automatically. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
