Has anyone dealt with these Padsplits?It seems they take a house and rent bedrooms out.They share restrooms and the kitchen.Any information would be appreciated.
They are very common in our City, due to it being a college town. We treat them as single family, even though there are probably individual leases for each bedroom. Hard to differentiate between a group of individuals that banded together to rent a whole house. I did it in college 40+ years ago and each one of us were on the lease. These days, they are just being put on individual leases. It seems to meet the definition of a dwelling unit in the VRC and VCC for R-5. R-3 lodging houses appear to be more transient in nature. One might try and say that they more resemble sleeping units and should be classified as R-2, but by definition, sleeping units that are in a dwelling unit are not sleeping units. Many times there are zoning ordinances which may prohibit more than a certain amount of unrelated individuals living together. Just my 2 cents.
