In a single family home that you own but dont live in, is it illegal to rent rooms to different families and not make them sign a lease. If so can the renter sue the owner when they are being harassed about who they have living there?

In a single family home that you own but dont live in, is it illegal to rent rooms to different families and not make them sign a lease. If so can the renter sue the owner when they are being harassed about who they have living there? I'm asking because my wife''s aunt is having this issue and i felt it was illegal to rent the home like the owner is doing, because then i could advise her to take legal action against him. Im only 20 im not the owner just a loving family member trying to help.

It would depend on the zoning of the property. If it's in a subdivision with no other multi-family properties, then is probably a violation.
The question about a lawsuit is over my head. But I'd consider a couple of points before I jumped into court. How much did you know before you moved in (remember ignorance of the laws is no excuse but may be considered). If you force the landlord to move one of you out - where would you go and how much more will it cost you each month.
Good luck, I hope it works for you.

Probably. You'd be operating a rooming house. That's against the law in an area zone for single-family occupancy. It would be illegal whether you lived in the property or not.

surely. you may limit the style of over night travelers, decrease the quantity of days an in one day concentrated visitor can stay, limit events of X human beings or extra and limit subletting. you ought to additionally incorporate an anti celebration clause while you're somewhat apprehensive -- to the result that unlawful habit is unlawful, and any disturbance that ends up in a signed police grievance is grounds for eviction. To be reasonable regardless of the undeniable fact that, you ought to incorporate a fact to the result that a number of those regulations would be allowed with strengthen landlord approval. This opens the door with subletting if your tenant needs to have somebody proportion the hire. I stay on the brink of a school campus, and all my leases have those regulations to steer away from the valuables from transforming into a "nuisance" assets.

You are treading a very fine line. You can bet it one of your tenants molests one of the other tenant's children that YOU will be named in a law suit. You will also have the IRS on you, and INS if you have anyone illegal on your premises. You will have nothing in writing to protect you if they decide to trash your property. No. No. NO!
