I don't necessarily agree with the way the other poster stated their position, but I do believe they are correct. If we make the assumption that there are HUD guidelines with regard to occupancy (i.e. building codes and limits), that number of personnel should not be exceeded, regardless of any other terms and conditions.

With that stated, many state, if not most, allow certain immediate relatives to reside with their family members. My rental agreements indicated the cost for additional personnel beyond those that were approved to live there. If they fell under the rules of state law, I would likely not be inclined to charge more, but if they attempted to move in an unrelated party (i.e. boyfriend), I would definitely enforce additional fees per person each month and require that person to physically apply, or pursue lease violations until I removed all parties.

Texas law gives the landlord the ability to set occupancy to three adults (persons over 18) for each bedroom of the dwelling. Section 92.010, Property Code.
