is it illegal to rent rooms in a single family home even if your the owner of the home?
In a single family home that you own but dont live in, is it illegal to rent rooms to different families and not make them sign a lease. If so can the renter sue the owner when they are being harassed about who they have living there?

It would depend on the zoning of the property. If it's in a subdivision with no other multi-family properties, then is probably a violation.
The question about a lawsuit is over my head. But I'd consider a couple of points before I jumped into court. How much did you know before you moved in (remember ignorance of the laws is no excuse but may be considered). If you force the landlord to move one of you out - where would you go and how much more will it cost you each month.
Good luck, I hope it ...(Answered by GaryODS) |

Need advice about renting out a couple of rooms in my house?
I just bought a brand new townhome in a college town. I'm renting 2 of the rooms out and living in the master bedroom. What should I know before I do this? Should they sign a contract, leave a deposit, pay first months' rent? I'm clueless here. If I'm renting to friends, should they still sign a contract or will that ruin the friendship?
Thanks.

I would have your renters sign rental agreements so that everything is spelled out and everyone knows what's expected. A rental agreement will actually help SAVE friendships and it keeps everything clear so that you don't have problems later with someone saying you didn't tell them something in the beginning.
