Overcrowding
I have a question regarding the legal definition of a 'person'. Put simply - would a two year old be counted as a 'person' in the overcrowding rules?
Thanks for any accurate advise.

Hi
You would have to look at your local authority's by-laws on Health what they say. For CT the definition on overcrowding is:
"Overcrowding" means
(1) a residential occupancy in excess of 12 occupants per sanitary convenience and/or (2) occupancy of habitable rooms (being all rooms in a dwelling excluding kitchens, bathrooms and sanitary conveniences) for sleeping purposes where such occupation exceeds 1 adult person per 4 m2 and/or 1 child under 10 years of age per 2 m2.
To enforce a CR regarding o/crowing could be problematic as there was a 1993 directive from the Chief Registrar of Deeds regarding rules affecting rights of owners stating it should be taken care of by notarial deed and NOT rules.
