Adding tenant’s partner to lease
Hey everyone—
Baltimore City landlord here. A tenant is moving her partner into her apartment, and I’m putting both of them on the lease. The tenant has a year-to-year lease that renews every June 1. I would like to keep the June 1 renewal because it’s easier to find a new tenant for June 1 than for August 1. Unfortunately, the date of the new lease offer is today, July 24. So I’d like to offer a 10-month lease that renews year-to-year on June 1. Will this look weird in court, if I have to evict or sue the tenants? I obviously don’t want to do anything that will make my case get thrown out. Thanks in advance for any advice you have.
