The term "immediate family member" of a person means the person’s child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in- law and any other person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of the specified person. Immediate family members are: (1) only those persons who are currently related to the person (e.g., a person who is divorced from a person's daughter would no longer be a son-in-law of that person); and (2) only those persons who are related by blood or step relationship to the person or his or her spouse (e.g., the sister of a person's spouse is considered a sister-in-law; the sister’s spouse, however, is not considered an in-law).
