yes..\nIt has to do with the housing and occupancy codes in your area..\nIt all depends on the size of the structure as to how many occupants can legally reside there..\nCheck with your local zoning office...

I don't' have an answer but I do have a source for you to search it. Go here:\n\nhttp://www.dca.ca.gov/legal/landlordbook\n\nAll of the laws are there in regards to this. Scroll down on the page and an on-line handbook is available. Good luck.

Depending on how many rooms/tenants and the local authority you're under, you may have to register it as a House of Multiple Occupancy...\n\n"Any landlord with a three-storey property housing five or more tenants from two or more families, now has to have a House of Multiple Occupancy License or face a fine of up to £20,000. The five-year license is available from your local council and can cost between £360 and £1,000. Even if your property doesn't require such a licence, there is more legislation on the way in the form of the Housing Health and Safety Ratings Systems, the Residency Property Tribunals and Tenancy Deposit schemes."

Check with your local Housing Authority.  Laws vary from state to state and even city to city.  Most places do not allow a landlord to enter a residence at will, but this is something you need to verify in your own locality.

generally you can rent basement suites in a house for less than you can rent a smaller apartment.\nis this a permanent arrangement?  I hope not because it is terrible for kids to live in apartments without room to go outside and play.....\n1 adult can sleep in living room, 2 can share 1 bed room, kids in other room.....\n\nneed to save save save so you can buy a proper house.

First off what does the lease say?  If it says only one person then they are violating the lease regardless of anything else.  \n\nSecond check the city laws.  This is generally where the most restrictive restrictions will be.  Either because of zoning, or more likely because of fire code issues.  \n\nLastly if neither of the above apply then you need to be concerned with state law, if there is any that applies, but I'm sure one of the two above is more important to the case then state law in why the landlord is telling them to move.

He can install equipment to moniter each of the tenaents usage.  But it will cost him money.  You can complain to your local housing authority

2 out of the last 5 years. However, there are some exceptions to that rule. One exception is you moved more than 50 miles away because you changed jobs. In that case,  you only have to live in the house for 18 months.

It depends on the issues. You have rights, section 8 or not, to live in peace and quiet during specific times of the night, usually between 9pm and 7am. If you have complaints, direct them to your rental office.

...Is your gas and heat part of utilities addendum in your lease agreement?   If so asking the landlord to extract out a separate bill for just you would be discriminatory action against ALL the OTHER residents. He would be very reluctant to do that. Anything a landlord provides to one resident, he must be prepared to provide equally for all other residents.  For instance an announcement is attached to the office door/window for all to see...OR placed on all tenants doors. Time consuming for him to do.
