How many people are legally allowed to live in a 2 bedroom apartment? I thought it was 3 people per bedroom, correct? I can't seem to find any information anywhere. Thankyou for your help!!!

Is it 2 people per bedroom?! I'm confused....loo

The Canadian National Occupancy Standard (CNOS) has been developed by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to help determine the number of bedrooms a dwelling should have to provide freedom from crowding. The CNOS is based on the number, age, s.e.x and interrelationships of household members and is the most complex of the crowding indices in the Housing Indicators series.  
 
The CNOS states that  
 
* no more than two people shall share a bedroom  
* parents or couples may share a bedroom  
* children under 5 years, either of the same s.e.x or opposite s.e.x may share a bedroom  
* children under 18 years of the same s.e.x may share a bedroom  
* a child aged 5 to 17 years should not share a bedroom with a child under 5 of the opposite s.e.x  
* single adults 18 years and over and any unpaired children require a separate bedroom

Thanks so much!!!! You answered my question perfect! God bless

Why did you spell sex as "s.e.x"?

There was a text filter perhaps?

The question was, what is the law.  
Before anyone goes quoting this post as law, CNOS isn't a law. It may influence local law makers, but not a law.  
I suggest you check your renters agreement.

Who can you report someone in violation of these standards to?
