Rahm Emanuel Lives in Illegal Apartment

Gawker reports:

He's the cheapskate of staff. Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama's right-hand man, lives in a basement apartment on Capitol Hill rented to him by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. Just one problem: He's not allowed to live there.

That's what private investigator Joseph Culligan discovered after asking questions of D.C. officials. A zoning administrator responded to Culligan's inquiry and told him that DeLauro's house at 816 E. Capitol St. NE was listed as a single-family dwelling, and as such, could not be rented out.

How ironic,the non-defender of property rights gets busted for "liberty of contract".Couldn't Rahm make a call to Freddie Mac for some special kind of deal?
