Separate Bedrooms for Adults/Kids

What is the name of your state? continued from previous post ....

There are communities that have ordinances on # of occupants of a home based on # of bedrooms in the home (or square footage in some cases) and I think these have come about b/c ppl have overloaded their homes with multiple families that usually bugs the crud out of neighbors concerned about property values, # of cars around a home, etc. You can see some at a glance Googling:

Thanks for defeating the purpose of asking justalayperson to back up his/her post. Why should s/he bother to do the work if you'll do it instead?

Actually, density laws do NOT dictate who sleeps in which bedroom. ONLY overall number of occupants. All males could sleep in one BR, females in another, the third BR used as an exercise room, and minors NOT seperated from adults under such laws. Such laws only dictate proportions, but do not demand who actually sleeps where.

Chicago, IL. Trust me.. When you go real estate hunting in this city, itty-bity bedrooms are the norm. But, good point about closets constitute bedroom. Egresses, no prob as we already have one because all Chicago apts must have them.

Right, the link above was only results for max occupants in a dwelling. I haven't heard of city ordinances dictating the genders of who sleeps where.

Not doing someone else's work for them, am saying that I personally know there are city ordinances about max occupancy (and backed up what I'm saying w/the Google link to show a few).

I know for a fact that several cities (Hoover, Pelham, Alabaster) in central 'Bama have ordinances about number of occupants. It's aimed towards the illegal immigrant community, to be honest. I also know of a city (Mountain Brook) that has ordinances against people not related living together. There were a couple of law students sharing a house in Mountain Brook who ran afoul of said law.

And NONE of those laws dictate that minors and adults must sleep in seperate bedrooms! Only the proportion of BRs to occupants!

I didn't say that they did.

And Mountain Brook needs to be aware that they can be sued regarding the Supreme Court Case I posted.
