My impression is that boarding house usually includes some services (cleaning, maintenance, food) from the owner or an employee who lives on the premises.

- joelwilliamson 1y agoThe “board” in a boarding house is food. There can be other services as well, but food is definitely required to be a boarding house.

Where I live there is discussion about allowing it in some neighborhoods, with the requirement that the property owner is also resident in the house.
