My tenants want a extra person to move into my house?

[Abby Attal]

So I got an email today, with my tenant asking me how does it work if they get another person to live with them? Do I raise the rent or do I let them move this person in? Any suggestions will help.

@Abby Attal if they are in a lease I don't think that you can raise their rent. We authorize additional occupants often. We have them fill out an application, pay the application fee and run them like we did the other tenants. If everything checks out we add the occupant to the property.
