Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Tenant renting bedroom w/longterm guest
The ''guest'' of my tenant #1 was
kicked out of his house. The guest
has been staying for LONG periods of
time inside the house I own, where
the tenant #1 rents a bedroom with
shared access to the communal
areas of the house.
I DO NOT want this guest of my
tenant #1 (I know the guest, he's
lazy, unemployed yet ablebodied!!)
to ''sorta live'' in my rental house!
The other tenant (Tenant #2) who
rents the other bedroom said the
guest spend more time in the house
than Tenant #2 !
What can I put in the revised rental
agreement to circumvent this
extended staying by the ne'er do well
guest? How can I limit the time a
guest spends with Tenant #1
becausde as of right now, it looks like
he's living there!!!!

Re: Tenant renting bedroom w/longterm guest
Many leases contain provisions that say a tenant cannot have a guest stay for more than seven days in any 60-day period or something like that.

If you'd like to play hard ball, a notice to cure or quit as a breach of the lease for subleting under threat of eviction. Call or e-mail me directly.
