Give them an application. --174.198.xx.xxx

Give her notice of breach of contract.

Get an application from him immediately.

Tell her if it isn't completed or he doesn't qualify, they will both need to move.

Is it monthly or a lease? Includes utilities? If yes, increase rent for the extra person. --70.160.xxx.xxx

I would have him fill out an application and so long as he's not got one of one of my criminal rejection cases, move on. I would not care where he worked or how much he earned as your tenant clearly earned enough on her own to rent the unit. I would not put him on the lease.

The objection you are going to hear on here is then you can't garnish from him if they don't pay or if they fight and she moves on he's not on the lease. So what? If they don't pay, garnish her if that was one of your criteria. If she moves out, evict him if he doesn't pay or don't renew the lease if you don't want him there for some reason. --72.70.xxx.xxx

Get the application filled out - at least you will have SS#, DOB, etc - if/when you have to evict them both!

AFTER you get that, you lay down the law of The LL is in Charge, NOT the tenant. --71.184.xxx.xxx

DJ,

Thanks for the tip to give a notice of breach simultaneously with handing them an application. That combination was missing in my procedures.

Nicole,

Likewie, thank you for the tip to get an application, but not necessarily be constrained to put him on the lease because of the current tenant's earnings. --98.122.xxx.xx

joan,

Review your lease. A proper lease requires any new resident to complete an application and be approved before occupancy. I hope you have wording to that effect.

I like the idea of giving notice of non-compliance along with an application form.

We give 24 hours to submit that application, with fee, or we file eviction for lease violation. If not, they will never submit the app.

Be ready to deny the BF if needed.

MOTHERS! Teach your daughters! Homeless deadbeat BFs clean up real pretty and are sweet talkers looking for a warm bed.

Don't be stupid. Now there is a second paycheck in these bad times. Just don't put him on the lease because it's her apartment. If things go bad he will be told to leave by her because it's HER apartment. If you put him on there and she leaves, you end up with a tenant you don't want or, if he is a good earner, you can choose to rent to him or kick him out because he is NOT on the lease. Stash your ego for awhile as in 'how dare they violate my lease" because I am in charge. --71.104.xx.xxx

Can you kick someone out of the apartment they are already in if they AREN'T on the lease? I thought that was illegal. I thought you still had to evict.

Six weeks in Wisconsin, Marlene, then they are ON THE LEASE, if I recall correctly. Whether we put them there or not.

I get their information, so I know who I am dealing with, but, I don’t add them to the lease. Exactly as AllyM said. Keeping primary tenant only officially on the lease, helps primary tenant maintain more control of situation. Sometimes a hardworking woman needs to keep a fella around just got to keep all of the others from sniffing around. It’s a delicate balance though.

Several of my tenants have had good success with a friend, or a brother stay for a while. I get the names, dob. A couple others, not so good, but, we’re past that. Just sayin’, it doesn’t always work out. --70.92.xxx.xxx

Oops, to the question of kicking the additional person out, from my perspective, I am limited to telling the tenant, either the guests go, or you all go. I only do MTM, so, you all go ( Notice to Vacate) can be given with 30 days notice. I believe I can still evict a holdover tenant even now. (course, that can change daily, especially in my city.) --70.92.xxx.xxx

I don't put them on the agreement ( M2M ) unless the tenant insists. I know my tenant, I want to keep my tenant, I will even advise them not to give them rights to the unit in case things go bad. They can even use me as the excuse they can't get on the agreement if the other person is insisting.

Did he actually move in and give up his place or has he just been staying there until now. Another person moving in is a touchy situation. You might not have been notified while they figured out if things will work staying in the same place. (give tenant credit there) Now they want to make it legit. So take application, get information, do your background checks and decide whether to keep them. --108.4.xxx.xxx
