Occupancy Limits for a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Oregon

Oregon doesn't have a single statewide occupancy limit. Instead, each city and county sets its own standards, typically based on the International Property Maintenance Code or local amendments.

General Guideline

Most jurisdictions follow the "2 persons per bedroom" rule, meaning a 1-bedroom unit maxes out at 2 occupants. However:

• Portland, Eugene, and other major cities may have specific ordinances.
• Some allow "2+1" (two adults + one infant) or adjust for square footage.
• Landlords can set stricter limits in leases if they comply with fair housing laws.

How to Find Your Limit

1. Check the local housing authority or building department website.
2. Search "[City/County] Oregon occupancy limits residential."
3. Ask the landlord for the applicable code citation.

Always verify locally—assumptions can lead to lease violations or overcrowding citations.
