The problem is that the chapter may make the exception for the PNM, but the corporation may not. I know the corporation that I serve on has no established exceptions to the requirement to live in. Once the house is full, we consider exclusions, but if the house is not full, every member is required to live in or pay for the empty bed.

Agreed (especially the bold part).
