@Justin HerringtonWhile Thorold does not give a maximum occupancy per dwelling unit in a direct manner, it appears to define any building providing lodging to more than four (4) occupants as a boarding house:“boarding house” means a building in which lodging is provided for more than four (4) persons in return for remuneration or for the provision of services or for both and in which the lodging rooms do not have both bathrooms and kitchen facilities for the exclusive use of the individual occupant;In turn, they restrict a rooming house or lodging house (but never marry definitions to that of the boarding house) as follows:Where a dwelling unit contains rooms intended to be used in conjunction with a rooming house or lodging house, the occupants may share a single bathroom provided that: (1) not more than nine (9) persons occupy the dwelling unit; (2) for each additional nine (9) persons or part thereof, there shall be an additional toilet, handwash basin, bathtub or shower; and (3) access to the bathroom can be gained without passing through: (a) a habitable room of another dwelling unit; or (b) an open area, which is not normally heated during the period of the year which heat is required by article 2.22.3 of this by-law.So, it appears to come down to whether boarding houses are permitted where you property is located (and whether they need to be specifically licensed), unless your building would be seen as a non-conforming duplex.This is the question, I believe Thomas was asking.

that is the crux of the matter... when jobs leave people leave with them and like we have out here in the West.. ( Ghost Towns)  its just normal commerce at play.

In a normal retail transaction this is usually after the inspection period is over and everything is good.

I was right in thinking that I would rather work than go to school but now I realize that I would rather not work a normal job....ever.

Normal for most of my tenants but this particular case was different since they deposited the rent into my account and I had not talked to them in years.

I have 5 turnovers coming up in one week in August, the first 3 on the same day so we are allowing a little more time there and hiring help which we normally don't do with just one apartment turning over.Also, do you have any pictures from when the house was empty last time?  

I'm normally not so stickler but since we're ending their tenancy, I have to imagine they are just planning to not pay.

If the property is not a fairly obvious value than normally you either have something other people don't (rehab skills, property management skills, etc.) and that your realtor doesn't or you are not buying at such a great price that he or she would want to steal it from you. 

Because he was someone that was a former classmate of my son, I asked him to call me after normal business hours so we could discuss his interests and plans.Here were some things that came out of that discussion:He has the intelligence  and the money to buy a land lease community, and it could be a very good investment for him.He knows next to nothing about owning and managing a land lease community, but as a former Lonnie Dealer, knew a little bit about manufactured housing.Because I believe, “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

At some point in the cycle market rents will cool back down to normal levels.Stay away from landlord paid utility at all costs and tenant friendly states.
