Tenant Has Not/Will Not Sign Lease

[Matthew Slaughter]

Hey BP Community!  So here's the short end; Purchased a triplex a couple months ago.  Utilities have been pretty finicky so I finally have everyone moved to a flat fee, which not being on a flat fee caused some hairs to raise with the middle tenant.  That problem solved.  

However, she still has not signed her lease and I think she is doing it out of spite to provide a feeling of control, IMO.  There are two people living in the unit, one has signed, the other hasn't.  We have language in the lease that states you cannot have a guest for longer than 7 days without signing a lease.  In my eyes, they have breached the agreement.  Can I use the lease language to let the flatmate, who has signed, know that they are in breach?  What are my landlord options?

1. Collect the rent.

2. Collect the rent.

3. Do not pass go - Collect the rent.

4. Get the lease signed.

Good Luck!
