House hacking a single family home in Norfolk

[Michael Llewellyn]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year's! I recently purchased my first property in Norfolk, a 4/2.5 near the Naval Station and wanted to rent out the extra rooms to help cover the mortgage.  I was looking on the city of Norfolk Website under residential information and landlord education, and found that I can have up to four unrelated people together on ONE LEASE, but it is illegal to LIST OR RENT OUT INDIVIDUAL ROOMS. This puts a damper on my plans. Does anyone have any experience with this, or ideas on how I could have two or even three individuals unknown to each other, occupying separate rooms all one one lease but only responsible for their own individual rents? I'm still doing some reading, but looking for any advice or creative ideas on how I can fill these unused rooms. Thanks in advance, looking forward to what y'all have to share.
