I meant five people in a one bedroom, and four people for a two bedroom. Basically avoid having a gaggle of people in one apartment and sharing the rent cost. It's such a problem where I live and a lot of landlords overlook it as long as they pay the rent, but it's unfair to other tenants.

My roommate and I are two people in a one person apartment because neither of us can afford the rent in our area. Boston and the surrounding areas are so ridiculously expensive that it can be difficult to afford. My roommate works two jobs and can still barely afford rent.

It sucks, but the problem isn't really the people doing what they have to in order to survive. The problem is the ridiculous housing market in the US that has such a lack of affordable housing that it should be illegal (and is violating international law). That said, if you aren't in the US then that may not be the problem since I don't know the situation in other countries.

I am in the US. I get two people sharing a one bedroom place, or even efficiency. That's within the laws usually US statewide; 2 people to each bedroom, and there are some laws that I'm unfamiliar with about when kids reach a certain age they need their own room. I'm currently in that situation myself, two people to a one bedroom. I get it's the housing markets fault and landlords for imposing ridiculous standards (like I said in my first post, how a lot of places want you to make 2 of 3 times the rent plus have an impeccable credit score - which who does anymore in this shit economy?). But at the same time it's frustrating that I can hardly make ends meet and other people around me are bringing in everybody and their mother to live in a one bedroom to share the cost. I'm not saying it because I'm bitter, it's because in most of these cases where you have a ton of people in a one bedroom it causes a disturbance for other tenants. For example, the people below me were finally kicked out because they had around 10 people sharing a one bedroom. It was disruptive because they shared the place in shifts and couldn't have keys made for everyone so at all hours of the night and day they were ringing or shouting up to be let in. They'd constantly be fighting because they were in a crammed space and sleeping on piles of clothes, or partying, and generally being a nuisance. We now got cockroaches because they were living unsanitarily towards the end, and now have to throw our own money into that because the landlord won't do anything even though they know it was the past tenants fault. And really it's unfair to the tenants who do abide by the lease rules that this kind of stuff goes on, and it's bullshit that landlords look the other way and don't care as long as they get the rent.

I know it's hard to find a place, really I do and I empathize with that. I've been homeless and I know it's shit the way the housing market is. But at the same times I've never seen where there are an excessive amount of people sharing an apartment works out well and they are not a disturbance. So I also empathize with regular paying tenants who abide by the lease rules.
