Company swapping tenants in violation of the lease
Hi BP,
I've run into an unusual situation and am debating ending a lease early. A company has guaranteed a lease (the company pays but a single employee is on the lease). Now, the single employee on the lease has moved out and four different employees have moved in (city ordinance permits 3 occupants max). This violates the lease, but rent is paid on time each month, neighbors have not noticed anything unusual, and the tenants are hardly ever there so overall, they are good tenants to have.
I am debating ending the lease due to the clear violation, OR adding the new employees to the lease for a fee with regular inspection to ensure only 3 people are staying in the unit.
Any advice or thoughts is appreciated!
