Question- lots of Lennar houses have nextgen unit

Is it legal for owner to rent out main house and not the nextgen portion? (Side House one bedroom one living room but connected to main house by a single hallway door). Can owner keep nextgen unit fo himself if this is included in the lease? Questioning wether ok to rent out main house with just a hallway door separating the two

Why is it NOT? He / She owned it. As long as it written into the contract as such and agreed with tenants and owner. This is a no brainer answer.
 
First from a lease point of view, as long as you disclose everything to the tenants, then it is fine.  Basically tenants need to know that its an attached unit with only that hallway door separating you and not a wall.  Door means increased sound transferring and potential for tenants to hear landlord and vice versa. 

Second, nextgen units are designed for multi generation living and not designed to be rented out.  As such, how would you handle utilities?  And I don't think nextgen portion has its own heating and cooling right? 

Finally, whether you can rent out the main house or even the nextgen portion is really an HOA provision.  I live in Woodbury and technically you aren't allowed to rent a portion of your home out.  All the people advertising a bedroom for rent or having roommates are breaking the HOA rules.  That being said, this is impossible for the HOA to police or even care about.  If you were running a vacation rental, that would raise attention but a family living in the main house and you living in the nextgen portion would be very normal. 
 
renter1 - please clarify what you are looking to learn and accomplish.  Based on other thread, it sounds like you are still having problems living in this house and trying to figure a way out of your lease.  If that is correct, then we can give ideas there but this thread makes it sound like you own the nextgen house and are considering renting the main house out.
