Are they going to go after someone who owns two places and keeps one totally vacant (e.g., does not sublet it), but uses the address?  I doubt it. But I doubt that happens much. BTW, they should go after someone who sublets because then clearly the owner does not and cannot reside there.

They should follow suspected cheaters home and send surveillace to monitor that the children are leaving from the correct address in the mornings, as well as touring the properties periodically.  Of course residential exemption should be tracked, as well as voter registration, tax returns, drivers licenses, and vehicle registrations.  In addition, there should be heightened scrutiny where a family of four claims to live in a studio IB, while owing a 3+ bedroom elsewhere.[/quote]

I live about 75% of the year in DC and 25% in another state, and I can tell you that there is no universal or simple definition of residence. It varies from state to state, and within a state there are different rules for everything you list: voter registration, tax returns, drivers licenses and vehicle registrations. Also hunting and fishing licenses, estate taxes, marriage and divorce, child custody to name a few. Sometimes you're a resident of two states, sometimes neither. Within other the state where I also reside for certain things residency rules vary from town to town.

From time to time I have to get advice from a lawyer or accountant and they always start off "well, there is no hard and fast rule."  And then they usually talk about the chances of getting caught...[/quote]
