Maximum Occupancy Question

Hi! new to the forum and just getting started in the rental business. 

I have a question about maximum occupancy for a 2BR apartment.

About a month ago, I had two 20 something year old boys apply for a 2BR apartment. Everything checked out so they were approved. They wound up changing their mind because another friend wanted to room with them so they started looking for a 3BR apartment.

Fast forward to yesterday, they tell me the other friend backed out and were again looking for a 2BR - which I happened to have available. I told them since it had only been a month, and if nothing changed for them, they were welcome to come see the place and take it if they approve.

They were happy. BUT, they emailed me today asking if the one guy's brother could also live with them providing he was on the lease.

Now, I have seen a lot of HUD and EQH information about 2 per bedroom regarding families, but nothing specifically about non-family members. My gut says its still the 2 person per BR quota, but wanted to check to see if I had any way around not wanting 3 adults in a 2 BR.

Thanks in advance!
