Leasing to a Community Residential Facility in DC?

Posted Oct 20 2014, 16:05

I'm looking at a single family home that is currently leased to a community residential facility.  I can't quite tell if it's for folks who are mentally challenged or if it's more of a halfway house.  I think the former.

Anyway, I'm asking my Realtor to look into the lease terms, but I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this sort of thing.  I'm trying to figure out if I'd be bound by the traditional residential landlord rules or if this would be considered a commercial lease.  Does it depend on the type of lease signed? Thanks!
