Q&A Overcrowding and Number of Occupants in NSW Apartments
Question: If an apartment is tenanted, how many occupants are allowed in a 2 bedroom unit? I suspect overcrowding in the apartment next door to ours.
Answer: You would need a by-law which stipulates occupancy limits.
Subject to anything contained in the development approval for the building, you would need a by-law which stipulates occupancy limits and that by-law cannot limit a bedroom to accommodate less than 2 x adults per bedroom.
None of this applies if the occupants are related to one another. The regulation specifies who is to be considered a relation for these purposes.
