Zoning for rental properties

[Tyler Duffin]

Hey BP, I just recently put a property on contract in Logan, UT. It is a 4 bed/2 bath with a basement that has a separate entrance. It is blocks away from the university there and unfortunately, it is only zoned for 3 unrelated guests. The frustrating part is that I’m one street away from the 4 unrelated zone. QUESTIONS: -Has anyone had experience being granted a re-zone for their property? -Is it too risky to roll the dice and rent out that 4th room? -If I rented the property to 2 married couple is that considered within the 3 unrelated guest requirement? I would put one couple in basement and the other upstairs. There is separate entrances. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
