Can I set the maximum number of tenants in a Mobile Home?

[Craig James Conrad]

I have a couple of older Mobile Homes (MH).  The smaller one has an obvious bedroom and another "cove" that is quite small and without a real door.  I spent hours last year trying to find if the MH is officially one or two bedroom, both for advertising it and for setting any limit on the number of occupants.  I called the county, and was told: (a) that "cove" doesn't meet the *current* definition of a bedroom, BUT for older MH, they go by what the manufacturer classified it as when it was sold; (b) the property tax listing for the lot identifies the MH as "personal property", so doesn't identify the number of bedrooms and baths; (c) the septic permit was made for a two bedroom residence.

I have failed in my many attempts to locate any records as to how the manufacturer described this originally.  No luck at all.

When I told the county that I can't find the original number of bedrooms, they wouldn't take a position on whether it is one or two.

Maybe that is all moot to my real question, which is --> As I'd really like to have not more than two persons in this unit, though am willing to have three in the right circumstances, do I have any right to establish a maximum occupancy, such as "not more than two persons" or "not more than three persons and not more than two adults"?
