Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I have signed a lease for a rental apartment and have pre-paid the whole year, after 2 months I have met someone and decided to have him live with me, now the landlord wants him to fill out an application , can he be denied? Can they tell me who I can live with? The rent is paid in advance, so why would he have to qualify?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Your lease agreement controls the rights and obligations The lease should be reviewed. Can they require the application? Yes. Can they deny the application, Yes as they may have to evict him at some time too since he is a resident. Also they can have a say about whether they deal with a serial rental fraud person etc. They can control the numbers of people in an apartment and control the individuals who are renters in their building.
