[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you people living that you have multiple illegal immigrant families living in the same house?  I live in Rockville West End and no house in my neighborhood has that.  [/quote]

Give it time.

We have seen this phenomenon increasing in several areas.  It’s a fantastic business model for the landlord and they rake in cash without the associated tax liability.

For now, we’ve seen this in Twinbrook, Aspen Hill, some areas of Silver Spring, Manor Woods, some of the areas in Rockville that are closer to Viers Mill, the areas off of Randolph Road.

Definitely anywhere the illegal investor can buy a home for less than $500K.  I say illegal investor because these guys don’t follow any of the County’s rental regulations.  [/quote]

Also these are very common in a Gaithersburg, Germantown and Kemp Mill.  Even up in Olney. There is a house in my sister’s neighborhood that is for sale that used to be an illegal rental.  The neighbors are hoping it’s not purchased by another slum landlord.

Don’t assume that all these illegal apartments are being rented to Central Americans or other Latinos either.  The home on our street that is an illegal rental is rented to a Portuguese Brazilian family and they essentially look White.  Some of the other ones are rented to Asians, Jews, Africans, etc.

This is not something limited to illegal immigrants from Central America.  [/quote]
