Rooming House or Rental Prop Legal Question

[Leslee Cook]

Since I am on this group for RE Investing, I'd thought I'd throw this question out to all of you. My son and his 5 friends from college rent a house - each have their own agreement with the prop mgt company - they pay a fixed rate year round however they have to pay utilities on their own. So I am the name on the Electric bill and my son collects money from his room mates and makes the payment - however, the prop mgr has put 2 more tenants in the house which the kids do not know - one is an employee of the prop mgr and the other is a student of the school with documented paranoid schizophrenia (sp?) who the kids feel very threatened by.  Neither of which pay their share of the utilities putting the strain on the other kids.  Over the weekend when the kids left to go home for the holidays, their stuff was stolen with no forced entry.  We can only assume it was one of the 2 individuals who are still living there. So my question is - would this be considered a rooming house and if so, are there different laws/regulations pertaining to utilities and zoning? If zoning doesn't permit a rooming house, is it legal to put other tenants in the house without an agreement of the existing tenants?
