not sure what state that you are in, however, in my state of ca, the landlord cannot deny you the right to have a DC in your house for a small license. They can deny you for a large license.

Each state has their own regulations in this area. Check with them and check with your landlord.

I am in MD. I'm pretty sure you can as long as you get an agreement from the landlord. Call the child care office of your county to double check.

Check your particular town also. Some towns around here (not MD) have their own licensing requirements.

I'm in Arkansas and rent. My landlord has set a limit on the amount of kids I can have.
