Renting a zoned "single family home" to multiple unrelated students
I am looking at purchasing a single family home (4 bedrooms) near a local university. It is zoned specifically "Single Family Home" According to the zoning ordinance this means :
Family means a person living alone in a single dwelling unit or two or more persons whose domestic relationship is of a continuing, nontransient character and who reside together as a single housekeeping unit in one dwelling unit. "Family" does not include a collective number of individuals occupying a motel, fraternity, sorority, society, club, boarding or lodging house, or any other collective number of individuals whose domestic relationship is of a transient or seasonal nature.
Should I be concerned about possibly renting to 4 unrelated students... It seems to me this is a common occurance... but legally I could get called out on this???
