Hi Bp am in dentist office waiting for my turn I thought i need  to take your opinions, i have a rental application It has on it 1adult with 8 kids ((wow)) know my question if she passes all the screening, would you rent to her, the home is 4 bed 2 bath I just finish renovations on it, the rent is $1200 , can I charge her additional $200 ( The way I figured additional $50 for each person over the 5 persons limits that I like to have in that home ), the prospect tenant is a section 8

Hi @Mark Suliman -

It is my understanding that the law is 2 people per bedroom plus 1 in my state, but not sure if that is across all states.  Definitely check and maybe someone from Florida will pipe in.  

There is a difference from what you like to allow and what the law allows.  I hope the dentist went well!
