Do you have a copy of the lease? I'd have to see it before I can say if anyone is in violation of it and whether or not it is silent on the matter of counting the living room as a sleeping room. Ordinarily, occupancy rates are determined by local housing codes; and landlords must not lease in excess of those rates. Feel free to call me at 913 441 5025 or email me at sean@roadlawyer.net if you want me to review your lease and give you a more specific opinion.
