Re: Moving in other family members without informing - Landlord Forum thread 352819

Re: Moving in other family members without informing by Anonymous on June 14, 2017 @07:02

                              
Post a violation notice. If the person is not on the lease they must go. And I would charge for this (after the fact) person being allowed in with out written approval.
I have found the extra person boyfriend or girlfriend, have past criminal issues or passed evicted when their information is run. If the extra person can't meet the application requirements, then they all get booted for violating the lease agreement.
I would charge 250 per person extra. If they passed a background check.

Some areas allow for the tenant to have someone move in by law. Charging extra per person can violate fair housing laws. You do not sound like a knowledgeable landlord???

    "You do not sound like a knowledgeable landlord???"
    And you sound like a Tenant, wishing to be a landlord with all your post making out like the tenant is a victim advice.
    Spin my post however you like to fit your point. At what number, 2 4 6 8 10 people, do you say wait a minute. There are only 2 people listed on the lease for a one bedroom house that I'm renting.
    Post the notice to correct or evict them all. Or open the doors for a drug or whore house. I guess that what the poster above does. lol

      I don't necessarily agree with the way the other poster stated their position, but I do believe they are correct. If we make the assumption that there are HUD guidelines with regard to occupancy (i.e. building codes and limits), that number of personnel should not be exceeded, regardless of any other terms and conditions.

      With that stated, many state, if not most, allow certain immediate relatives to reside with their family members. My rental agreements indicated the cost for additional personnel beyond those that were approved to live there. If they fell under the rules of state law, I would likely not be inclined to charge more, but if they attempted to move in an unrelated party (i.e. boyfriend), I would definitely enforce additional fees per person each month and require that person to physically apply, or pursue lease violations until I removed all parties.

      I'm so sorry you have had personal experiences with your tenants who turned out to be drug users and whores. Perhaps if you had better screening criteria and properly screen your applicants, you would not have such problems.

Sometime they use the excuse that they are only visiting as "guest", so it is just hard to keep track if they just come and go. Our lease stated 14days for guest, not sure if I need to change that too.
