BEST ANSWER

In New York, a lease may not restrict occupancy of an apartment to the named tenant and that tenant's immediate family. (Landlords may, however, limit the total number of occupants to comply with health laws on overcrowding.) The apartment may be shared with one additional occupant and that occupant's dependent children. mrep10thed.Irlanderpg159.

You need to speak to your attorney on this. The Department of State frowns on Realtors practicing law.
