Water Heater Tank
What size water tank is suitable for a 3 bedroom apartment? some are saying 50 while others are going to the extreme of saying 70 gallon is needed.

hm. I have 4 people in our two family house. But my wife likes long showers and I ended up with the biggest unit we could squeeze throw the basement door. 🙂
Conservatively, with intermittent use:
30 gallons serves 1-2 people
40 serves 2-3
50 serves 3-5
50, high recovery (65K btu) 4-7
75 serves 5-10
This doesn’t apply to the original poster, but in some instances, say where a 5-unit building full of apartments housing 2 people each that are all on the same showering schedule, a significant “dump factor” is needed. That means, favoring storing a large amount of water rather than relying on fast recovery.

50 should be more than fine. Of course it is # of people and # of bathrooms that make the difference not # of bedrooms.
