Dennis Plante Responds:
More than likely, in the case of houses where there are 20 inhabitants each paying $350/mo., some enterprising leasee (college student) is the one charging the inhabitants, not the landlord.

Bill Dooley Writes:
I have not read all of this thread so this may have been covered earlier. One parent called into a talk radio station and said his son was living in a converted duplex with 20 other students and the landlord was charging each students $350 per month! He said he had pulled his daughter out of another house because it was a firetrap. He says he was lucky he was able to inspect his daughter's housing situation but that it would be hard for out-of-state parents to check, especially when the child is excited about moving off campus and living with his or her friends and assures the parent every thing is OK. Comment #1: I had no idea these houses generate this much income. Comment #2: Out-of-state parents have the responsibility to check their children's living arrangements.
