Number of Occupants?
Are there regulations at the Federal or state (Michigan) level restricting the number of rental occupants per bedroom and siblings per bedroom? After 11 years we just had a mixed family move out and in the last three months at any one time there could be a total of 7 people in a two bedroom. Never had that happen.

That's actually meant to protect tenants by STOPPING landlords from cramming as many tenants into a property as possible.
You'll need to check your local ordinances for any statutes you can use.
FYI: Section 8 usually allows 2 people/bedroom, but they also allow two people to use living room as temp bedroom (sofa bed). So, two bedroom could theoretically have 6 people.
Otherwise, you'll just have to enforce/modify your lease terms.
