Zoning and Unrelated tenants limit per unit

[Andri Artayudianto]

Hi BP, I see a lot of duplexes and triplexes that are actually RSA-5 districts as apposed to RM districts. 

And many units housing unrelated persons above the legal limit of number set by the city (5-6 unrelated people in a unit with a legal max number of 3). 

Are these common practices that we shouldn't worry too much about?

Please be aware that the zoning designations in your area may have completely different 'names' in other states/counties. So, others may not have heard of RSA-5 or RM, because those same zonings would be called differently in their area.
