Look up your local laws as there may be specific wording you can cite to help.

As noted above, you need to be mindful of and verify local ordinances when renting by the room.

I am local to Cleveland and learned about Smartland through BiggerPockets.

As soon as our lesson was over, this dude would loudly shout to his daughter, tell her to go to the local betting parlor, give her a  wad of money and a list of bets to place for him.

We leveraged market expertise to price the property attractively and collaborated with Crystal Smith and Eugene for local insights.

I can tell you more about it if you'd like.Where are you located?

Is this local ordinance verified by the city and if so, what are the ways around it, like possible SB1033 and condo out the units or something else? 

If the house is priced properly, is in good condition, and is in a decent location, it should not take over a month to find someone qualified.

So the tenant will need to find another place to live or the landlord will need to lower the rent.I have many years experience of successfully working with the local housing authority that administers the Section 8 program in our town.  

@Lee GierszewskiYou make some good points.You know I called every brokerage in town a couple of weeks ago to figure out how local investors are getting together and networking.
