Hey Santosh,As of right now you're extremely exposed regarding insurance and I'm going to assume legally as well.If the home isn't registered as a legal multi-family with the town that's something you'll have to correct ASAP and make sure the home is up to code.Insurance wise as soon as they find out what you're doing they'll cancel you as the risk has changed from a single family owner occupied home to a multi family owner occupied home.
