The Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance defines how many people can live in a house, how much space is needed, and safe living conditions which generally are: No more than one family plus two renters in one house, or • No more than four unrelated people in one house.
Occupancy standards for residential dwelling units. The owner or managing agent of a residential dwelling unit may develop and implement occupancy standards restricting the maximum number of occupants permitted to occupy a dwelling unit to two persons per bedroom, which is presumed to be reasonable.
Can a home or dwelling unit have multiple renters? Generally, no more than one family, plus two renters, may live together as a single household. Or, no more than four unrelated people may live in one house as a single household.
Laws determining occupancy limits vary from state to state, with some regions having stringent mandates and others having next to none. For example, California law enforces a “two plus one” formula for its occupancy limits, meaning two people can occupy each bedroom, with one additional person in a living space.
Virginia Code section 36-105.4 states, “The owner or managing agent of a residential dwelling unit may develop and implement occupancy standards restricting the maximum number of occupants permitted to occupy a dwelling unit to two persons per bedroom, which is presumed to be reasonable.”
If repairs are not made, a tenant can file a Tenant's Assertion in General District Court. This must be filed no later than 5 days after rent is due. There is no rent withholding in Virginia, except under “repair and deduct.”
