BB. Generally following acceptable occupancy standards unless used to discriminate against families with children✓ Correct
CC. Required to get GREC approval for such a policy

Explanation
HUD's Fair Housing guidelines generally accept the '2 persons per bedroom' occupancy standard as reasonable. However, blanket policies that arbitrarily limit occupancy to discriminate against families with children violate the Fair Housing Act.
