Hi All,
I am currently looking at a large, high-yield property. Does anyone know what determines whether a large house (6+ bedrooms) constitutes a boarding house as opposed to simply a large multi-room rental property?
I have searched this forum (using several keywords), and have found some useful information about boarding houses. From what I have found,
Now, what is a "boarding room". Does this mean that it is the room that is let to an individual, rather than the dwelling as a whole being let to a group of tenants? The property I am looking at is currently let by the room (more than 6 tenants), and managed by a local agency. Would this constitute a boarding house?
From what I can tell, a boarding house must satisfy certain safety requirements, such as having a sprinkler system. The house I am looking at does not satisfy such requirements - could this be an illegitimate boarding house? (Where's the Sherlock Holmes smilie when you need it?)
Any input will be very gratefully received.
Paul.

A boarding house is defined as residential premises containing one or more boarding rooms along with facilities for communal use, and occupied or intended by the landlord to be occupied by at least 6 tenants at any one time.
