DURHAM DISCLAIMER FOR MUB ADVERTISING

The Town of Durham Zoning Ordinance has strict occupancy limits on unrelated tenant rental properties. A Single or Duplex Family Dwelling occupied only by unrelated tenants is limited to no more than 3 maximum unrelated tenants; but no more than 1 tenant for every 300 square feet of habitable floor area (this area measurement excludes hallways, stairs, closets, basements, garages, storage, etc.). In Multi Unit Dwellings (3 or more units) rental apartment properties, the limit is 1.5 tenants per 300 square feet of habitable floor area. There are also requirements for egress windows in each bedroom and smoke detectors in each bedroom
If a property is found not to be in compliance with these rules you may be forced to move out in the middle of the semester if your name is not on the lease.
Please be cautious about subletting and not having your name on a lease. Just because there may be more than 3 in an apartment or house now, that may not mean it has legal standing. Check it out before you sign. All cities and towns adhere to New Hampshire State laws, however certain municipalities may have specific requirements. Please contact your local code official for more information. If you have any questions about a particular property in Durham, contact the Durham Town Hall Code Enforcement Official at 868-8064 x118.
