Househack tenants and duplex sharing with tenant

[Dillyn Davidson Saurdiff]

Are there special laws for being a landlord when I get my own home and rent out rooms. Does anyone have any resources for that. Or if I get a duplex are their special laws for me as a landlord living in one side or is that pretty similar to just having a regular tenant in a separate home

@Dillyn Davidson Saurdiff there are special rules. Owner occupied can generally be more selective on who they rent to, without violating fair housing. There are also differences on how you claim partial use of the structure on your taxes.
