Former property manager here.
Maximum occupancy under the landlord tenant code (at least it used to be this way when I was doing it), is for UNRELATED people. As in not your immediate family. Let's say the "maximum occupancy is 5 people. If you and 5 college buddies decide to live together then you would not be able to stay there because it exceeds the maximum occupancy requirement. Now if it is you, wife, and say 4 kids, that's still more than 5 people, but because it is your immediate family who moved in at the time of the lease, then you're ok. It's called "familial status" and it prevents landlords from refusing to rent to families who may not "fit" in wth what they'd want to see. You rarely hear it brought up, but that is (or was, back in the early 00's).
