Do you run a boarding house? » Raise the standard

How do you know if you’re running a boarding house?

Here are some of the key things that can make a rental home a boarding house.

There are (or intends to be) 6 or more tenants living in the home.

Tenants share spaces like the kitchen, bathroom and laundry.

The tenancy lasts (or is intended to last) for 28 days or longer.
