Renting to brother. Now having issues

[Maria Marrero]

So I have an interesting question: I have a SFH that I'm renting to my brother and his family. He was so excited when I evicted my last tenants a little over a year ago bc he really likes this house and wanted to live there. I gave him a bit of a break on the rent being that he's family n he pays faithfully. Now I'm having 2 problems: I don't know how to tell him that I need to raise the rent even if only $50. The other problem: he has people over every single Sunday. They aren't strangers or no one has complained but it's about 12-15 people each time. Those ppl happen to be my sisters n their kids. I never get invited nor do I care to go if I did but how do I handle this? I only know about the parties because they post all the pictures on Facebook otherwise I wouldn't even know so if it was a stranger who I was renting to I would never know. I don't know what to do

And please don’t tell me the old line “don’t rent to family members’’ as I already know but he was going through something at the time n I meant to help him (my nephew had cancer)

Regarding raising the rent, you just tell him rent is going up and give him whatever notice you’re legally required to give. 

Regarding him having people over, if no one is complaining and you don’t want to be invited, why do you need to do anything? He’s allowed to have people over.
