I have a 5 bedroom house zoned as single family residential in ft Myers FL. I have all the rooms rented out with 6 mo leases where they share common space and each have a separate keyed lock on their room.

I recently had code enforcement show up to the property stating that I can only have 1 family in the house. I have heard of a specific ordinance stating there can be up to 4 unrelated persons in a single family residence. I am having trouble finding this I formation to confirm though. I have reached out to the county to see how I can remedy the situation.

The tenants have all been very easy and get along great. I would love to be able to keep the setup I have.

Any ideas on this? Make the leases structured similar to vacation rentals with month to month leases? Student housing rules?

Thanks in advance
