Hey Everyone,
I am looking to close on a SFH with a mother in law unit. I am in the SLC, Utah area and I am wondering if there are different landlording laws for an owner occupied MIL unit that I need to be aware of?
Specifically, how do I find out if my area requires landlords to allow section 8? Additionally, since it is technically the same home and not a duplex are there any Fair Housing Law differences or allowances for this set up?
From what I know, you can only rent it out while you are occupying the property as an owner. Once you move out you can no longer rent both units to separate tenants.

Yeah, I am asking in regards to while I am living in it. To be more specific, since I will be living in it and technically a MIL is one unit, can I say something like "perfect for young professional or young married couple" in the listing or would that technically be in violation of the fair housing laws?
