house sold down the street now turned into a rental with multiple families - legal?

[Anonymous]

Worst nightmare has happened - house down the street was sold and now they're renting out to multiple families and people. 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.

If that’s your worst nightmare your life is a dream. Get over yourself.

Search the county code. There are limits on number of unrelated people in X amount of space.

Every single thing you mentioned is happening next door to me as well. I am not sure why you think construction is needed. They just all share the kitchen etc. It was not turned in to apartments. It is a group house. We are going on year 3 right now. They are generally quiet so that is good...except when cars pull up blasting the radio for pickups/drop offs.

You neighbor can for sure complain about cars parked on her lawn though. Our neighbors just park on their own lawn.

I am not sure if any construction is needed and whether or not that is allowed by code. That's what's I'm asking about. Like you can stuff multiple families into a home and into each bedroom and basement without any legal changes to the deed, etc.? Are additional doors needed? Additional bathrooms? Additional fire prevention? Do you need more doors for egress in order to get up to code? Seems hard to believe you could take a sfh and stuff as many people in there as you'd like with no violations of local ordinances and codes.

Like a PP already said, there are usually limits on the number of unrelated people in a home. You don’t need a certain of bathrooms or kitchens or bedrooms per person.

Worst nightmare are people down the street not the death of a spouse or cancer or serious illness. You have a very sheltered privileged life. Smh.

We have lawyers, economists, computer programers, and PhD scientists on our street. Yeah, ok, our homes aren't worth $2M, but it's not like it is a crappy neighborhood. It is being turned into trash and being made poor by sh!try new investment people turning good homes into garbage rentals.

If this is a preview of what Thrive MoCo is going to do to SFH neighborhoods, we are getting the hell outta the county quick.

Ask the economists on your street about the current housing crisis and then get back to us, OP.
