Jersey City house hacking / room rental
There has been some posts on JC house hacking, I'd need some more in depth answer, particularly around this ordinance - rooms and dwelling units https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2013/title...
also rooming law https://library.municode.com/nj/jersey_city/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CH254PRMA_ARTVIIMISPUSEGRE_S254-36NAOCCEDWROUNLI
- can you rent out 2 rooms in unit in a 2 family in jersey city as the owner, while living in one room? its a 2 family house, 1st floor would be rented out fully as a 3bed 1 bath unit, 2nd floor rooms would be rented w owner living in 1 room.
- this isnt a boarding house that requires licenses right?
anything else such an owner occupied landlord should think of when signing leases to protect themselves?

I'm confused Drew. If you're an owner in residence of an apartment, why can't you have roommates? There's people sharing apartments all over this city. What were you in court about? Evicting a roommate?
