firecode, joint-custody confusion.

I had an applicant who has 1 child. I rented him a 1 bedroom apartment only to find that he has joint-custody of 3 other children on the weekends. 5 people in a one bedroom apartment are (as I understand the fire code) over capacity but it is just on the weekends. What do you do when you have a renter who does not disclose joint custody dependence? Are temporary but regular residence treated the same as a full-time resident in the eyes of the law?
