I need application's on adults and info on kid.
70.00 more per adult if they are approved.
Depending on what is found on new app's-- new deposit addendum may be needed. --99.103.xxx.xxx |

Diahann,
"until they find somewhere to live" is a huge DANGER warning. I suspect something is wrong with the younger family's ability to find their own rental. Dig for the truth.
Apps and full screening on all adults.
MY limit is 2 persons per bedroom so compare this to the size of your rental.
Also know that septic tank capacity is based on the number of bedrooms x 2 people.
I don't mind this as long as the home is large enough, enough parking, etc. Everyone signs the lease.
BUT
know that there is a VERY HIGH chance you will be stuck with the new people when the parents move out. In my thousands of leases SELDOM does this work over time.

Diahann,
From the phrase you used, I suspect BRAD has sniffed out the real issue here.
I would probably say something to your tenant like "How do their applications look?"
Your tenant might know whether her relatives have any problem getting approved for rental.
Even without volunteering specific info about tenant relatives, if your tenant's response is hesitation, or dismissive of the need for an application for all adults, you should use that opportunity to emphasize the provision in your rental agreement that prohibits unapproved roommates or subtenants. Also to emphasize your only response available would be to file an eviction and obtain a money judgement. Your tenant might not realize the financial consequences and be tempted to just let them move in unless you enlighten your tenant right away. Your tenant probably never read their lease.

What I am hearing them ask - is it alright if we can cause additional wear and tear on your place without paying you more.
This is necessary because my family member isn't responsible to ensure that they have housing. So they want to bring these issues into our household.
That is what I am hearing........the real question is -will you have the courage to call a spade a spade and call them out --24.101.xxx.xxx |

I would "just say No" as Nancy Reagan said. I don't think there's anything in Fair Housing Act that you have allow extras to move in AFTER a lease is signed? If there is, someone here can correct me.
You initially made your decision to rent to this one(?) tenant, not to be stuck with a large group after tenancy began. I'd be firm that this isn't going to happen.

Something else just occurred to me.
Diahann didn't say when the lease began, with her current tenant.
If this person is a relatively new tenant, this could have been the plan from the beginning. Have her rent the place because she can pass the background check and then have the others move in and become the actual tenants after the lease has been signed. And then maybe the official tenant moves out.
I've seen a couple situations where I had the vibe applicants were trying to do a bait and switch like this with their adult children, although I didn't end up renting to any of the group. --72.188.xxx.xxx |

Have you asked what happened to their previous living situation...and how long this "until they find somewhere to live" is supposed to occur?
My guess is they have found somewhere to live. It will be in your rental.

Offer other options.... Extended stay hotels are designed exactly for this purpose. They are reasonable when all things are considered. All utilities included. I would information the resident of some other options and not to put their own housing in jeopardy. And once I told the move in brother... You are putting your brother's housing in jeopardy by continuing to stay here. Also other options, camping, extended stay hotel, airbnb. Etc. Get creative but not on my property. As they will all wear out their welcome and soon none of them will have a roof over their heads. Make it about the agreement and point out the lease clauses. --172.58.xxx.xx |
