Hi BP, 

I'm quite new to the real estate and rental world. Last year, I purchase my first rental townhouse and I split the master-bedroom into two rooms and rent out to student. But I recently got a phone call for the city saying that I may violate the building code and the occupancy maybe too high (they said that the unit max person allow in the unit is 4, I have 6 students living in the unit). We situation a time next week for them to come take a look. 

Has anyone dealt with a situation like this and will the city force me to reduce the number of occupancy? Because most of my tenants were under 1 years contact. What should I do? Please help. 

Thanks for all your comment in advance!

Johnny
