• When a large number of people occupy an apartment to the point where its cramped and can lead to feelings of being trapped and [claustrophobic].
    [Apartment overcrowding] can involve having more than three people in a single bedroom, other open areas such as the living room being used as a bedroom, having very limited privacy due to the large number of people in an apartment, and having many house restrictions set by the main tenant(s) of the apartment, which is especially true if the apartment is being shared by other strangers. It can also result in large numbers of cars parked on nearby streets [on blocks] that have several apartment buildings.
    Some landlords have tried to combat this by setting a fixed limit of the number of persons that can occupy an apartment depending on the size (such as 2 people per bedroom, 3 per bedroom, 2 per bedroom plus one), but it isnt legal most of the time and violates the Fair Housing Act.
