The landlord can rent out rooms to who he pleases, however if there is overcrowding in the house to the point of risking sanitation and health, the council can order the landlord to reduce the amount of tenants living there. As a tenant your rights in listed under the housing or tenancy acts. A dwelling is overcrowded if the number of people sleeping in it is such as to contravene either the room standard or the space standard laid down in Sections 325 and 326 of the Housing Act 1985. Note that your local authority almost certainly has additional standards for houses in multiple occupation. Contact them for further details. If a house is, or is likely to be, occupied by an excessive number of persons having regard to the rooms available, the Local Authority may serve notice under Section 358 of the Housing Act stating the maximum number of persons who should use each room as sleeping accommodation at any one time or state that specified rooms are unsuitable for sleeping accommodation. Using this information, contact your local housing authority. hope this helps
