Plain English

Under Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-143, a rental dwelling unit may be occupied by no more than one family at a time. Temporary guests are the only recognized exception to this single-family occupancy limit. The rule draws a clear line between permitted guest stays and a second family sharing the unit as occupants.

For Property Managers

Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-143 limits each rental dwelling unit to occupancy by a single family, with an allowance for temporary guests. Compliant operators generally ensure that lease agreements reflect this one-family limit and that tenant screening and lease enforcement practices are consistent with it. Operators also typically monitor occupancy arrangements to distinguish between permitted temporary guests and situations that could constitute a second family taking up residence.

For Tenants

Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-143 establishes that a rental dwelling unit is intended for one family, though temporary guests are expressly permitted. Tenants who believe this provision is being applied in a way that affects their household may want to review how "family" and "temporary guests" are defined under local law, as those definitions can shape what occupancy arrangements are allowed. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office can help clarify how this rule applies to a particular living situation.
