They used to be called brothel laws. They're usually written as a limit to how many adults who aren't related can share an address.
That's interesting. Do you have a source?

I found these on “google” if you’ve ever checked that site out.Ha. Thanks for doing my homework for me. I honestly don't know what my original sources were... I've been aware of the existence of "brothel laws" for ages. I lived in a large intentional community (read: commune, but avoiding sexual connotations at least in a US context) for a long time and running afoul of brothel laws in the past was something I learned about there.
Ah I see where the confusion is. The original article referenced Canada. The brothel laws you sourced look like they’re from the US
Funny but they have these affordable housing laws in the us and I know of at least on suburb whos answer was rescinding these type of laws. In in some ways their affordable housing solution was roommates.
