Is Renting By The Room In Scranton, PA Allowed?

[Joseph Matarazzo]

Hello Bigger Pockets,

If you have a single family home in Scranton, PA can you rent out each of the bedrooms (house hack to rent by the room)? 

- This is an investment property, not a primary residence. 

- Are there any laws in Scranton which prohibits this? (If so, where can I find these laws to read them?) 

Example: Say I have a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home. I list each bedroom for rent individually with an individual lease for each bedroom.

@Joseph Matarazzo Rather than take any buddies advice here. I recommend calling up the city or county staff planning Dept member or code enforcement officer, they are public servants and are paid to answer your questions, so you get the information straight from the source. You can stay anonymous not mentioning your name or address if you would like. This is my rental strategy and this is the practice I have always done with great success!
