Ask more rent for multiple families in a SFH rental

Dallas, TX · Member since 2015 · 27 posts · 1 vote

I have a 5b4b SFH for rent for $2500. There is a family would like to move in. There are parents/sisters/friend/grand children, total 6 adults 4 children.

Any laws prohibited a 4 families (some of them related) occupied in a SFH in Texas?

Due to the increased wear and tear from more occupants, is it reasonable to ask for more rent, such as 2800 or 3000?

Thanks.

As long as the local law allows that mixture of tenants you cannot ask for more rent due to a large family. That violates HUD as being discriminatory to families.

@Nancy Wang HUD occupancy rules are 2 persons per bedroom +1, so essentially you could have 11 people in your home. Never, ever charge more, you could get sued
