Nanawale Rules on Number of People in a House

[Adam-I-Am]

Are there rules about having "room-mates" in Nanawale? My retirement situation has made it necessary for me to rent out two rooms. (Maybe there are rules but they aren't enforced.) Thank you.

CCRs stipulate "single-family residential" as a land-use restriction on the number and type of buildings; I believe the prevailing Federal definition of "family" includes an economic unit even where no other relations exist.

Short-term rental might be construed as a "B&B" operation which would then require an SUP, GET license, collection of TAT, etc. (I don't have the definition handy, but six months or more is definitely not "short-term".)

My opinion: I believe the only way to "get in trouble" with a sublet (besides the obvious "bad tenant") is by converting existing space into a "bedroom" that did not previously exist -- this would potentially exceed the original design capacity of the septic system and create a DOH issue -- but such a situation would not be "visible from the street", so any enforcement would probably come as a side effect of a much larger problem.

I just checked out Airbnb and there are 19 available rentals in Nanawale. One of them is a shed,(only $25 a night). I don't think the association has a clue, or cares.

If possible, try not to rent all available bedrooms so not to appear to an enforcement agent that you are running a boarding house, no room numbers, separate mailboxes, etc. and you should be under the radar.

Might check into insurance. One bad tenant and you'll be homeless...

You have a CC&R, it is probably in there. There is also the community association rules:

The reality is there are probably more than a few houses where it might be multifamily, especially with the locals. Probably better to look up the tax reporting on having room mates.

I don't know specifically about Nanawale but county code specifies that you can have no more than 5 unrelated occupants living in a residence.

Well OP says he needs 2 roomies, so he should be in the clear.
