Your local housing code will have the number of people per square foot who may occupy a room -- which is usually two at move in. (Children who are born during tenancy don't count as occupants at move in.)
Your state will have a list of protected classes as to whether you can consider the source of income or individual income or aggregate income.
Your state will have the requirements for returning the security deposit, which may entail one check made out to once person at one forwarding address.
I don't know how one would politely point tenants to something like https://images.template.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/19141447/Roommate-Rental-Agreement1.jpg so that they can embrace the issues of shared financial responsibility.
Did you run credit and ID checks on the potential tenants? Will they need co-signers?

In Adamson [https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/3d/27/123.html], the [California Supreme] Court found that
there were other, less restrictive means to achieve the stated goal of preserving the residential
environment. The examples provided by the Court were placing restrictions on transient and
institutional uses, regulating floor space and facilities, criminal enforcement of noise, and
parking requirements." http://docs.sandiego.gov/cityattorneyreports/RC-2006-30.pdf
