i agree that i don't think anyone would be able to evict me from a house i own, but like i said talking with L&I only raised more questions.

i should probably find a lawyer knowledgeable in this area to advice me on what exactly my rights are when it comes to these issues. can i deny an L&I inspection? Can they evict some (or all) of the people that live in the house if they decide there are too many people living there, even if it is owner-occupied?

thanks for all the insight so far.
