How can I politely tell someone, who is asking if they can move in, that my friend and I don't want another roommate?
Thanks so much!!

"I'm sorry, but we'd like to keep the number of roommates down to the present number." Then help them out to find other alternatives.

Be direct. Don't apologize, make excuses or defend your decision. Simply say that you and your roommate do not want another roommate. The more detail that you add, the more you give the person to question and perhaps put you on the defensive.
Say "No", mean it, and don't allow yourself to be drawn into a discussion about it.

"im sorry, but we need noone else to help to pay the rent"
"im sorry, theres no way uguys can move, cause theres no enough space, it would be unconfortable"
"im sorry, i think u would be better in that apartment over there....."
"im sorry, i really wanted to help, bet theres in no way, the apartmemt is just for 2 ppl"
just talk to them and try to point other options

"I really dont think you would be comfortable here, we dont have too much room"
you could try that.
or try something that makes it seem like you are concerned for them.
hope im not making this sound too snobbish.
