How is overcrowding determined based on the number of rooms available?
Rules state that anyone aged 10 or over counts as one person, children aged 1 to 9 count as half a person, and babies under 1 are not considered. Overcrowding occurs when the number of rooms is insufficient for the total count of people living in the household. Note: when counting rooms not all room types count as suitable for sleeping.
