'Per Additional Person' Fee where All Utilities are Included in Rent (CA)
just checking, does anyone know if this is legal to do? am in Los Angeles county and noticed where 1 or 2 tenants sign lease but have ppl often visiting/living with them, the electric & water can really shoot up from one bill to the next!
am thinking of doing $100 per additional person to cover the additional utilities (this is socal, water and electric are quite pricey!)
adding meters to the current 2-family property in question isn't an option cause of crossed water and electric lines between 1st and 2nd stories, and a single water heater.
also wondering how long of a stay do landlords allow before a guest is considered a occupant? i have seen quite a few ads where owner stipulates NO overnite guests at all but dont know if i wanna be thaaat strict... mehhh
