However, they might be legislation in place within the municipality that could restrict occupancy in the unit due to the size. Although most apartments can accommodate at least 2. The landlord lives upstairs and is not looking for noisy neighbors. He wants a person who is quite and reserved and doesn't bother them.

Chances are if a landlord is imposing a restriction of this nature it means that he/she is not going to be following the laws properly IE: having you sign a legal lease, taking out insurance, etc... - so you probably don't want to rent from such a person anyhow.

In many places health departments dictate the square footage for occupancy per person. If they are saying "single person" as in unmarried, then they are discriminating on the basis of marital status, and they are not allowed to do that.
