It will require a large septic tank with a minimum of 100 gallons for every tennant, period. Smaller tanks will not allow enough solids settling time. Solids can destroy the drainfield in less than a year allowing water to pool on the surface of even the best drainage soils.
Next, lets talk about washers. A single washing machine can send enough non-biodegradeable fiber to a septic tank to carpet a living room each year. Use lint traps with built-in bypass valves when they need changed/cleaned.
Lastly, lets talk about kitchen garbage disposals. One garbage disposal is equal to 4 tennants solids flowing into the septic tank. Your system will be constantly overloaded and stink to high heaven. The only solution is to disable them or charge enough to get the tank pumped more often.

How to Clean a Septic Tank?
An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.
