How many people can live in a four bedroom house?

Have a word with the vigilante unit of your local, friendly paramilitary group. They likely hate foreigners as much as they hate fenians/Brits (delete as appropriate).

I think it's up to the landlord how many can live there. If they are making excessive noise you can report them to the police though.

Ahhh.. such a good, positive impression of Belfast given here

Nope, it's not up to the landlord. If there is more than one person renting the property who is not related to the other residents with a total number of residents of three or more, it needs to be registered as a house in multiple occupation.

Landlord will only get this registration if it meets certain conditions such as fire doors to meet stringent health and safety regulations.

One of these is a restriction on the number of people allowed to be resident in the property, depending on its size, sanitation and washing facilities and number of habitable rooms.

First thing to point out is that some real **** holes can be granted HMO status, the requirements really aren't particularly strict (or enforced). My house is a HMO registered flat, and it doesn't have anything different from the flats my friends have which aren't.

But the OP says she's seen six people living in a four bedroom house. Even assuming there's maybe two extra people, that's not insanely unreasonable in a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms. Basically, the OP hasn't really said anything so far which suggests that the people in question are breaking the law, aside from noise complaints which should be treated as they would if you had any other noisy neighbour.

Thanks for all the advice people. Firstly I am going to check this out via the council and see what they say about this. However I am just going to enquire about this anonymously and basically say i don't know how many people are living in the house. . Maybe they will bring someone round to look into this. But i'm sure there are more than 6 people in this house. I mean an asian guy buys the house rents the rooms to polish people, what does he care how many people live in the house, so long as he gets his money. Yet its probaly tax payers money hes getting because they don't work.

Makes me sick if you ask me.

Okay, updating this, i have actually found out that the living room and dining room has been turned into a bedroom. So that is 6 in total. Not sure whether this makes a difference or not but i dn't know what the laws are about this.
