[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes- legal, but they might be in violation of the lease without the owner knowing. Can't hurt to send a note.[/quote]

Explain how it is legal when I can look up the property and it says it is owned by X as 'primary residence'.  The home was listed as a 4 BR home, yet I can find it now listed as a rental with '6 BR'.

Again, absolutely zero construction was done on the house, so how does it magically gain +2 BR so that the investor owner can jam more unrelated people into it in order to max their profits on a home supposedly owned as their 'primary residence'?[/quote]

What you want is some sort of law/ordinance that will kick those people out.  That likely does not exist.

Did the purchaser potentially commit mortgage/tax fraud if they declare it a primary residence?  Maybe.  But that is only going to affect that person's finances.  It isn't going to kick the people out.

And the rules on what qualifies as a bedroom are different for listing a rental and listing for purchase.  [/quote]
