However, it isn't enforced and I doubt that is why we don't have houses. It is more likely a land issue and the fact we live in a highly urbanized area. The fact that it is considered a brothel is ALL over my school as a myth. Well, it has SOME fact behind it, just not all.
I believe there is something similar to this in Guelph. You can't have more than 3 unrelated people living in a house. Obviously that law is not enforced otherwise there would be far too many students without housing. However, when it is reported someone has to go an check on it.
A Pi Phi sister was subletting a room in a house with 3 other people. She hadn't moved in yet, but a neighbour called the inspector and the inspector had to come and check things out. My sister wasn't able to move in for a couple of weeks because of this ridiculous law, and a nosy neighbour.
