Legal to rent by the room

Is it legal to rent by the room in Medford Massachusetts or not? I called the city, the district court, consumer housing, every department out there and no one can answer me. I will consult with a lawyer but I though I'll ask here first. I know many are doing it here, the question is : is it legal?

@Geo A. I do not want to see this again!;-)

"Is it legal to rent by the room in Medford Massachusetts or not?"

How do I .... (should be your prefix), not Is it ...

I've got 2 rentals that have multiple, unrelated roommates. I insist on a new Tenant at Will agreement each time someone moves out or in. Seems to work as long as you prescreen and they all get along.
