Tenants who move in other guests without concent

[Robert M.]

Hello All,

In the past I have had issues with tenants applying to live in the apartments as a single individual. Later to find out that they moved in their boyfriend/girlfriend without written consent. However, this is a situation when they deny that their partner has moved in but it appears like they live in the apartment building.This may happen because of bad credit or because of criminal convictions that they do not want to disclose. How do you prevent this from happening? Can you prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Robert

I have an issue like this. My tenant was on section8 in Beaver County PA. An investigation was done and the boyfriend was receiving mail in his name to the property.

That was enough evidence to prove the terms of the lease were being violated. There was no way to prevent that from happening but in this case, the trace of mail was enough proof to terminate the lease.

Hope this helps. From your friendly Baltimore Raven 😇
