Sounds like you are ok with the boyfriend living there as long as you are getting your $75. You said she agreed only to pay $225 ($75 per month x 3 months=$225) she is right. If you have to send her a letter every month to pay the extra $75 I see to options. 1. Evicte her. Or 2. Raise the rent and put boyfriend in lease. As for the kids they are not violating the lease if they are only there for two weekends a month. Sounds like he is trying to be a good father to his kids. Only way to fix that is evicte you tenant. If this is your only problem with the tenant raise the rent add boyfriend to lease and let him be a father to his kids two weekends a month it could be worse. Good luck.

I somewhat agree, except for the fact that the kids seem to be at least partial occupants. In my mind, that's at least another 4 nights or 4-5 days a month for the kids, so according to the lease terms that an additional $150 per month, plus I would consider the fact that it's a one bedroom. General rules are 2 people per bedroom, plus one. That's 3 people max, not 4, I wouldn't want to get into the position of regularly allowing what would appear to be at least a secondary residence for as many as 4 people in a one bedroom apartment.
