Landlord Isn't Family Friendly, Tenants Say; Your Opinion?

It was recently reported that the owner of the Huntington Arms Apartments on Detroit Avenue sent a letter that stated:

Contra Costa Times, July 24:

...one-bedroom apartments should have no more than three residents and two-bedroom units no more than five, and also set rules for supervision of children. If residents exceeded these numbers, the letter said, they should look for larger units, which the families took as a threat of eviction.

The tenants of this apartment complex have filed a complaint against the landlord with the state saying they've been threatened with an illegal policy limiting the number of children they can have in their homes.

According to the article, the city of Concord regulates occupancy of the apartments by square footage, not per bedroom, as the letter from the landlord stated.

The incident resulted in a protest inside the complex by tenants and the tenants' advocacy group Tenants Together.

Do you think landlords should have the right to regulate tenant occupancy beyond they city's ordinance?
