Why can't you do this already? [/b] If you have a basement apartment, bring it up to code and you can easily rent it.  In MoCo, you can make a good amount of money.  Post on Craigslist or NextDoor and you'll get a ton of responses.  And, get the rental license.

You don't need to wait for the new zoning law.  [/quote]

You can't currently do it legally, in most parts of the county. [/quote]

[b]That isn't true. [/b]It can be done legally. Lots of landlords don't apply to get a license. This may be because they don't think they should have to, or they don't want to pay the application fee, or they don't want to pay tax on their rental income. But in many cases, I suspect it is also because basements, especially in older houses, do not always meet the required dimensions to get a permit to be rentals. [/quote]

Yes, it is.
