Guest staying beyond lease limits
Hello BP family. I have a property in Philadelphia where I rent out rooms(6-12month terms). This is my first rental. Right now there are 2 tenants in the property. The third and final tenant moves in this week. One of the tenants has a friend that is pretty much a resident in her room with her. The lease specifically states there can be no more the 7 overnight stays in a 30 day period. There is an outdoor camera at the property so I'm able to see how often and how long this guest has been staying. It's going on about 2 or 3 weeks now. My question is how do I go about properly putting the guest out and can I ban/prevent this guest from coming to the property since the length of her stay was a violation of the lease? I've recently served the tenant a pay or quit notice for unpaid rent. My city has a moratorium on evictions until the end of the month so if she doesn't choose to leave I don't believe I can pursue action until after that time. In the meantime, I need this guest turned resident out so that I can send a clear message to my other tenants that I take lease violations seriously.
