<human>: So I'm on Facebook asking if there's a place to rent in the Portland housing classifieds.  We have a few kids, enough that people think that you cannot put more than 2 kids per room.  There seems to be a line in the housing code that they should follow the "2+1" rule for renting.  However, when reading the code, this seems to be even more of a guideline than a rule, and is even mentioned as such by the mayor in a PDF I found from a few years ago.

With housing so tight and people failing to find housing for one reason or another (and I plan to move my family up in a couple of months.  I work in Portland right now), it would be nice to be able to come at this problem to show landlords that this isn't a law but a guideline, and shouldn't be treated as such.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Trying to show that the "2+1" "law" for renting in Portland is a guideline and not law.
