| If I rent a basement of a house in another school boundary - but still live in current home, Can I use the rental as my address to get DD into school? |

| Yes, but your DD has to live in the basement. |

| PP is correct. Your child has to actually live there. |

| People can report you. Like your DD's friends' parents and such. Think about that. |

I think you only need to sleep there 20 nights a month. Not bad! You could still enjoy your nice house the remaining days. |

| As a first grade teacher I work a lot on helping kids learn their address and how to write it correctly. There is always one kid telling me a completely different address than he is registered too. It makes me really in a terrible position. Just don't be that mom. |

Also make sure the owner has a rental license and that the basement meets the requirements for light, ventilation and emergency egress. |

| Lots of people in good school districts will 'lease' to you without you living there. You better hope you don't get nailed tho. |

| Not legally because you don’t actually reside there. |
