Tenant moved in a roommate

[Joe Ventresco]

I have a tenant that has been with me for a year now.  When I rented she was on her own. After several months of her living there  I start to see that she has a guy staying with her.  It's a two family and recently the lower level became available so I have been there a lot getting it ready, showing and I see the two of them together all the time. I haven't seen her by herself in months. So I ask "is he living with you now?", her response was no on two separate occasions.  My lease says no overnight guest for more than 24 hours without notifying... and so on. So I wonder would others let this go?  Pursue it further? Post a three day?

Looking for some opinions. Thanks!

Single people don't stay single forever.  Some landlords on BP are very adamant about not allowing this.  OTOH, I agree with @Kyle Lewis that if there aren't any problems, I wouldn't worry about it.  Either love will run its course and he'll disappear after a few months, or love will get serious and they'll eventually move out or sign the lease together.  Or not.  <shrug>

I couldn't imagine being the manager of a 400-unit apartment complex and being worried about the overnight guests of each and every apartment.  Stipulate the "no roommate" clause in your lease, then wait until it becomes  a problem before worrying about it.  Life's too short for me to micro-manage the love life of my tenants.
