Qun Liao and Lodging House

single dwelling unit: A whole single dwelling unit could also be legally rented by a group of students sharing a single lease, according to CBC. That is what Payzant Street landlord Qun Liao now says she intends to do. The city defines a lodging house as "a single dwelling unit in which four or more bedrooms are rented on an individual basis, and/or secured through means such as locking devices." A rooming house can only be established in an area zoned for one and must be licensed. Her property is not zoned or licensed as a rooming house, but multiple students who lived there told CBC News it contained 10 people and they considered it overcrowded. Liao said she is taking steps to comply by the deadline of April 8. In a notice to Liao dated March 9, the city says she must remove all locks from bedroom doors, reduce the number of bedrooms to five, and not rent by individual room. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
