There is no limitations by default. The new user can take all of free space unless you install special quota program. To install it in Ubuntu, you have to write in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install quota

There are plenty of tutorials on how to use quota in Linux around the Internet, just search "quota ubuntu".
For quick start, you may use this tutorial.
