Does anyone know if you can rent a single family or duplex by the room in Bridgeport CT?

@Manuel Salce,

I found this link about 'Rooming Houses' in Bridgeport. At quick glance, it would appear you'd need license to operate https://www.bridgeportct.gov/f... but definitely clarify with the City. 

I may also being taking this too literally and to the extreme, but as a Landlord in CT I don't recommend rocking the boat or getting on the "bad side" of any housing regulations.

However, if you own the property and live there yourself, then no. I'd assume you can do as you please since it's your primary residence.

This is they type of question I would ask the planning and zoning department for Bridgeport and not BiggerPockets.  Just tell them that you are thinking about buying a student rental and wanted to understand if renting by the room was acceptable.
