Objecting to a house division? Get free advice

Questioner

I live with my family in a house with four habitable floors (90m2). One of the floors has already been divided into five rooms so that 5 students can live there. (11,?m2 per room) The division of houses is increasing in this neighborhood and seems to be lucrative for the owner. The takeover of the attics is also underway so that they can also be converted into apartments. Our concern is that our living pleasure will deteriorate if the other floors are ultimately also made suitable for five residents. This could result in 19 additional residents in a building. Are there any grounds on which we can object to the endless division of floors, especially in the building where we live? Is there any reason why we can expect the municipality to ensure a reasonable ratio of renovated student housing to family housing? e.g.

Yes, usually this is prohibited in a zoning plan because the number of households or maximum number of residents is capped. You need to check the rules and definitions of the relevant zoning plan. If I am right, you can ask for enforcement or a ban.
