Armstrong v. Mayor
Maryland Supreme Court
979 A.2d 98 (2009)
Relevant factsFree
A developer planned to lease each bedroom in 26 four-bedroom suites separately under one-year leases, with tenants sharing common areas and housekeeping facilities within each suite; neighborhood residents (plaintiffs) challenged the resulting occupancy permits, arguing the complex actually constituted 104 individual rooming units rather than 26 qualifying dwelling units housing a "family" as a single housekeeping unit.
IssueFree
Whether a living arrangement among unrelated individuals using unified housekeeping facilities can satisfy an ordinance requiring that the individuals constitute a single housekeeping unit.
