Minimizing occupants in your Lease

Does anyone have a section in your lease regarding the number of occupants in a unit? I want to add something to eliminate a large number of people in a unit, and to eliminate people that aren't on the lease from moving in permanently. 

Just looking for some examples...

Anthony, here is our clause:

Tenant will not sublet any part of the premises or assign this Agreement. Anyone moving in must get prior written consent of the Landlord prior to moving in. Each prospective new tenant over the age of 18 must complete an application, pay a $20 fee, pass a background check, and sign the Agreement. Landlord must approve all overnight guests staying more than 7 consecutive or 14 total days. Adding a roommate, even if on a trial basis, is not considered a guest and needs approval prior to move in. New tenants are not allowed to move in prior to six months after move in. Occupancy cannot exceed eight people, including adults and children.
