Some municipalities have local zoning restrictions that may restrict the number of unrelated people living in a residence (usually three or four), but it isn't legal to base this on gender. Typically this is done to reduce the negative impact of college student housing on residential neighborhoods and property values. Edwardsville has one of these rules in place to help keep property values up. Our only chapter house in town was grandfathered in and has no other residences nearby.
