How many people in one house?

[Brandon West]

I am trying to sub lease a house out in Minneapolis. I have heard that some local municipalities might not be OK with certain living arrangements. I am wondering where do I start researching what is legal in my local area. 

Ex, How many unrelated parties can be under one roof, how many people per room, Can I rent out a room for a week, month, year. ETC

Thanks.

@Brandon West do check with your local municipality however, typically across the board it's 2 people per bedroom. So as an example a 4 bedroom home would be able to board 8 people legally; a 2 Bedroom home - 4 people and so on. In terms of length, weekly/monthly rentals maybe treated differently when compared to yearly leases, things such as security deposit, notices, fees and Tenant's rights may be affected depending on the length. Also, some HOA's or Condominium by-laws may have minimum lease length standards. Check your HOA by-laws to see if they address this and perhaps check online resources for your township, it may also be wise to stop by and ask them those questions directly; if this is too though or you're not finding what you want, call up a real estate agent which deals with leases and ask them pointed questions.

Hope this helps,
