COBB COUNTY, GA — Cobb County commissioners shut down a Marietta home that was effectively serving as a boarding house, per a Board of Commissioners vote at its Tuesday zoning hearing.
Local resident John Lay was renting out the eight bedrooms in his 3,400-square-foot home on Austell Circle to tenants, but was put on a code notice by the county in September after neighbor complaints. He was allowed to house up to eight adults, but only two unrelated adults, according to Cobb County code — but his tenants included more than two unrelated adults.
