Yes. The fire marshal will bust any overcrowded room if he catches you.
The fire department is who determines the occupancy limits in public buildings. It is important to not go over the occupancy limit they have determined.
Occupancy signs are regulated to indicate the maximum number of occupants allowed in a building or space, primarily for safety and compliance with building codes. These signs must be clearly visible and legible, often placed near entrances or in areas where occupancy limits are enforced. Regulations may vary by jurisdiction, but they typically require that occupancy limits be determined based on factors like the building's size, use, and safety systems. Failure to comply can result in fines or safety hazards.
I believe in the state of Pennsylvania, occupancy limits are 2 people per bedroom. Believe it or not, a child isn't considered and occupant until the age of 2. At that point, yes, a landlord can evict you for being over occupied.

The occupancy capacity for a one-bedroom unit typically depends on local regulations and building codes. Generally, it is designed to accommodate 1 to 2 people.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) does not specify a strict maximum number of people allowed in a 100,000 square foot area, as occupancy limits depend on several factors, including the building's use, layout, fire safety systems, and local building codes. Generally, occupancy calculations are based on a formula that considers the type of occupancy and the available exits. For example, assembly areas may allow approximately 2 square feet per person, while other uses may have different requirements. It is essential to consult local fire codes and regulations for precise occupancy limits.
In Philadelphia, there is no official, city-wide legal occupancy limit specifically set for apartments. However, it is common practice among many landlords—including Hightop Rents to restrict occupancy to a maximum of three adults in a one-bedroom apartment. This restriction is generally based on considerations of comfort, safety, and compliance with broader building and fire codes, rather than a specific city ordinance establishing occupancy limits for all apartments. Always check your lease agreement and with your landlord for specific rules regarding occupancy.
