Should you check occupancy limits with your town?

[Jehan Jaleel]

Hi, I have a large single family house 5 bedroom house that I am renting out to a large extended family of 4 adults and 5 children (9 occupants total). I was advised to check with my township if this many people exceeds any occupancy limits.

First question is this is a good idea to call the town's housing dept. and ask this?

Second are you aware of any such occupancy limits in your town or municipality or anywhere you have rented before? For example, X number of adults and Y number of children per bedroom?

Thanks.
