National Occupancy Standard

What is a “suitable” household?

Under the Standard, suitable housing is based on the following criteria:

  • A maximum of 2 persons per bedroom.
  • Household members, of any age, living as part of a married or common-law couple share a bedroom with their spouse or common-law partner.
  • Lone parents, of any age, have a separate bedroom from their children.
  • Household members aged 18 or over have a separate bedroom, except those living as part of a married or common-law couple.
  • Household members under 18 years of age of the same sex may share a bedroom, except lone parents and those living as part of a married or common-law couple.
  • Household members under 5 years of age of the opposite sex may share a bedroom if doing so would reduce the number of required bedrooms. This situation would arise only in households with an odd number of males under 18, and odd number of females under 18 and at least one female and one male under the age of 5.

An exception to the above is a household consisting of 1 individual living alone who may live in a studio apartment with no separate bedroom.

  • 枫下家园 / 房东 / 不懂就问公寓这种规定合法不?温哥华这对夫妇James和Rowland,住在温哥华的一套一居室公寓里,一直以来,这所公寓都是有规定的,最多只允许两名居民居住 多加了人口应该多付租金听起来合理,但是合法不?
    • 2000年的时候我亲戚在纽约租房,因为有俩小孩,即使只有1,2岁大,也不允许租一室一厅的,必须2居室,说的就是human right上的考虑。
      • 人印度留学生就不要人权了,LOL 一出事就是一堆人,不知道这个房东怎么应对,S了一个。隔壁也是住7人。
        • 所以如果法官敢不维护房子最低居住人数,房东就可以以此为例租得人挤人而不犯法。顺便提一下,这个作者是标题党。在加拿大,生孩不会被罚款,只会发牛奶金。但生孩子不交应交的房租还是有风险的。
          • 标题党,某国风嘛。传回去多有脸,加拿大不让生孩子,哈哈
      • 如果这个案列判租客不用为孩子出额外费用,以后的大楼会以此为例子,驱逐生孩子的租客。根本不提加钱的事,只要你走人。
    • 能让你住就算不错了。按法律一室一厅只能住两个成人。12岁一下孩子随住的话,大楼有可能网开一面,但要多交管理费支付额外的水电消耗。
      • 现在住房紧张,不知道法官怎么判
        • 判交在住期间的多用水电费部分吧。比如多一个每月多50加元或者60加元。这样一年下来就好几百甚至上千了。都住到二娃出生了,起码得有年把两年吧。所以应该没有什么胜算。
          • 我在Facebook看有老外问男女朋友住进了后,公寓没有权利赶走,租客权力好大。
            • 要是租客有个男朋友,且有个女朋友,那必须赶走一个。依据是只能住两个成人,其实不是男女朋友也没关系。
          • 据悉第一个孩子的违规行为处罚是每周50加元,第二个孩子出生后,他们每周要被征收200加元的巨额罚款
            • 这个有点过分。但不用过分的招,这人恐怕并不会搬,然后在里面生三胎四胎。

    • 公寓法好像管的很宽泛,有点儿像公司法。当时入住的时候是签了合同的,法理上奖只能按照合同办事,希望委员会法外开恩。现在住房紧张公寓法,也该改改了。
      • 看这个判例会不会害了老老实实多交管理费的父母。我不希望以后公寓见生孩子就赶人。多少要让新父母有个缓冲。
        • 其实比赶人好多了,老住户根本弄不到现在价钱的,如果租客判赢,加过人老租客可以去要回钱的吧?
      • 嗯,但是个人房东好像就不能有很多规定,比如养宠物啥的。签了也没用。
    • 得虧法律沒有規定馬路上不許睡人,要不那麽多homeless去哪兒呢。
      • 我却觉得肯定有规定马路上不能睡人。但政府把人抓走睡监狱?花销太大了。
