Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 Residential Rental Housing § 8-14-4-2
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TENANTS NOTIFICATION
Operative Text
The owner of a Rental Residential Property shall inform each tenant or occupant in writing, prior to occupancy, of the maximum number of persons allowable by the occupancy standards set forth in this Code. (Ord. 15-40-O, 9-9-2015; amd. Ord. 21-36-O, 9-22-2021; Ord. 25-29-O, 10-22-2025).
Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-4-2 establishes that rental property owners must notify tenants or occupants in writing about the maximum number of persons permitted to reside in a unit before anyone moves in. The notification requirement is tied to the occupancy standards defined elsewhere in the Countryside Code. This rule creates a pre-occupancy disclosure obligation rather than a restriction on occupancy itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-4-2, compliant property owners typically prepare a written disclosure stating the maximum allowable occupancy for each unit, based on the standards set out in the Code, and deliver that document to each tenant or occupant before the tenancy begins. Operators generally keep a copy of the signed or delivered notice in the tenant's file as a record of compliance. Reviewing the occupancy standards in the broader Code helps ensure the figure stated in the notice is accurate for each specific unit type.

Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-4-2 gives tenants the right to receive a written notice of the maximum occupancy limit for their unit before they move in. If a landlord did not provide this written disclosure prior to occupancy, that omission may be relevant to any dispute involving occupancy limits under the Code. Tenants who believe this requirement was not met can consult a local tenant-rights organization or review the Countryside Code to understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available.
