  Yes it is legal. The apartment complex that I am living in allows 5 people to a 2 person bedroom, and I've seen a couple groups do that. Renting out the living room or even putting 2 people to a room is almost always legal. Over occupancy laws only come into play in completely ridiculous situations like 3 people to a room and up.

    "Unapproved subtenant (approval can be either stated or implied) is the only person still remaining in the unit (subtenant holding over)" Here is a list of just causes for eviction in San Francisco. https://www.sftu.org/justcauses/ https://www.sftu.org/justcauses/

  In San Francisco, the occupancy limits for existing buildings is contained in SF Housing Code §503[1]: bedroom must have 70 sq. ft. of superficial floor area for the first 2 people, plus 50 sq. ft. for each additional person. The subdivided apartments probably easily comply with these limits.
