[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county CAN and SHOULD enforce shanty rental properties. There should be fines, this is a goldmine. I don't like the idea of changing zoning. We do NOT need new laws or codes, enforce what's already in place.[b] Codes and laws are race and citizen and class blind.[/b] stop being afraid to pursue certain communities. [/quote]

We have learned that it's not quite that simple.  Though it probably should be.

What happens, is the landlord claims that he's renting to 'family' or that there is only one family living in the home.  Neighbors know that is not the case.  But, it's truly impossible for the County to prove how many 'unrelated' boarders.  They can easily claim to be 'related'.  [/quote]

...boarders?[/quote]

Not sure what you're asking?

A boarder is someone who rents a room in someone's house.  In MoCo, you're allowed to have a boarder if you live in the home.  These illegal rentals are owned by investors, who rent the rooms to illegal, unrelated boarders.  [/quote]
