They now have multiple cars everywhere, have been parking on my neighbor's lawn, left trash strewn in the street because they don't care, and don't take care of the yard/property of course cause they're renters. Is it legal in Montgomery County to do this? Absolutely zero work and construction was done in the house, so the house is still built with rooms, kitchen, and bathroom like it is for a single family.

It's really justifying up the steet and declining the quality of life for everyone.

You can look up the homes address and you cab see if they have a license to permit rentals as a multiple family dwelling (or if they have a rental license at all).

Type in the street number and name (city, state, zip code and "community" aren't necessary).
This will show you the name of every single homeowner in MoCo that currently lives at that address.

Then click on "rental licenses".
If they have one, it will be there.

Let me guess. You’ve never had to work hard for anything in your life. Mommy and daddy paid for your college education so you never got bogged down with student loan debt. Family money helped you pay for a down payment on your home. You’ve never had to scrimp and save pennies for 12+ years to save for a down payment to afford what you thought was an OK home in a middle neighborhood. Right out of the gate you were affording a $1M+ house where you can live a privileged life insulated by scum vampire squid real estate speculators.

Let’s see how much you’d like it if a real estate investor bought a house on your block and stuffed 4, 5, or 6 families in their who never give a crap about the neighborhood. They also give zero craps about upkeeping the yard and neither does the landlord. Let’s see how much you’d like it to have your biggest investment ruined by some faceless, speculating scum real estate investor who has zero qualms about running a dilapidated, run down cesspool to stuff families in because the less money they spend on maintenance and repair the more profit it means. Just turn all our neighborhoods into 3rd world trash heaps.

Get some anger management help.

That's your answer to her point?

You don't think she has a right to be angry watching her hard-won investments go up in flames?

Let's see how you'd feel if it was your hard work and your investment going up in flames. She's not the one breaking zoning laws and rental laws. You are.

How is pp breaking zoning and rental laws?

Because there are fire hazards when you cram tons of people into a small space not designed to house multiple families.

At a minimum it is tax fraud when you claim a property is for primary residence yet rent it out.

OK, but where did anybody say that PP was doing those things?

Yes, the residence is listed as ‘primary’ even though the owner is renting it out.

This tells me they don't have a rental license.

The previous post has a link to look that exact information up.

The pp who wrote it generously listed all of the step by step keystrokes on how to find that info out for herself.
