Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

Re: Unrelated tenants living in a house

To answer your question adequately, one would need

to review the ordinances for the community in which

the house is located. Although not all such ordinances

are uniform, generally, if the property is zoned

single family, the inhabitants are considered a

single family if they eat their main meal together,

share vehicles, do wash together, and carry on as

if they were in fact one family. Most unrelated

people do not live in this fashion and consequently,

they violate the zoning by creating a multi-family

situation in a single family zoned area.
