roomates when you own tow aprtments.Sep 03, 2013

A coop owner has bought the next door apartment but will not be "joining" them. Instead she and her husband will get a "roommate" to live in that apartment.
This seems like a sublet. The husband himself is not a shareholder.

note the info that indicates the owner must be the primary resident for the roommate law to come into effect. if they are not residing in the apartment, it is a sublet and must come under board review.
